Gelderland the province.
1 gulden 1763, silver .920, weight - 10,61 g., mintage - 3850000 pcs. Utrecht Mint.

 

Thanks for posting this one! I don't have any Dutch coins that are that old. Interesting, by the way, that the inscription around that woman only makes sense if you see what is depicted. "Hanc tuemur" means "this we defend/protect" and refers to the liberty cap, "hac nitimur" means "this we rest/lean upon" and refers to the bible on the right ...

Hello Siberian

I'm very interested in this coin. Do you know its pedigree and how you arrived at it?

 

I've got my coin from my local dealer for 33 $. I know that it's a coin from the Dutch province "Hollandia".

 

Cool

 

What I'd really like to see is what coins were minted at the Munt in Amsterdam near the Sigel.

The Munttoren (Mint Tower) is near the canal called Singel, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munttoren And for a while they actually minted coins there ...

Such a gate would not be practical to keep out the Spanish.

The name of the tower refers to the fact that it was used to mint coins in the 17th Century. In the Rampjaar ("disastrous year") of 1672, when both England and France declared war on the Dutch Republic and French troops occupied much of the country, silver and gold could no longer be safely transported to Dordrecht and Enkhuizen (where coins were normally minted), so the guard house of the Munttoren was temporarily used to mint coin.

 

What did they mint exactly?

 

Hiho, what's the grade of 1666 Utrecht ducat? Looks like XF45 for me. Nice ducat I have to say!

 

True. And caduceus is one of these things on late Dutch gold ducats you prefer to have replaced with other mintmark like "B" letter (Brussel mint 1824-1830) or Polish small eagle (Warsaw mintmark on 1831 uprising ducat).
