<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldducat, post: 2284951, member: 37873&quot;]Now I will show you another unusual gold ducat from The Netherlands. In the recent Heritage Auctions Europe, former MPO, Auction 48 (November 26, 2015), a rare undated Gronsveld ducat was available for bidding (Lot 710). Starting price was 4,000 EUR.</p><p><br /></p><p>A copy offered for sale was sold previously in Laurens Schulman auction 26 (November 19, 2001) for 9,000 Dutch guilders, means about 3,591 USD.</p><p><br /></p><p>The recent sale of this type was in November 2000 in Sotheby’s London Auction 571, Lot 627 (coin sold for 3,520 GBP = 5,849 EUR = $5,012, incl. Buyer’s Premium fee). Next to Joh. W. Stephanik copy, sold in 1907 by Frederik Muller &amp; Cie, Sotheby’s ducat was the finest known of this type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ducats of this type were minted under reign of Joost (aka Judocus) Maximiliaan van Bronckhorst (1617-1662). This date is known in two types: with a large date and with a small date. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was withdrawn from the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://goldducats.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/gronsveld_ducat.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Gronsveld 1642 ducat with a small date</p><p>(source: <a href="http://www.mpoauctions.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mpoauctions.com" rel="nofollow">www.mpoauctions.com</a>)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
