Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7966797, member: 112"]An interesting read and one I haven't read before. For me at least that's understandable because of it's subject matter - the lack of work/research being done on Dutch numismatics. I was always searching for info about Dutch numismatics, not work speaking to the lack of it. That's something I was all too well aware of several years before Pol wrote this in 2008, as he obviously was also. But that lack of published work was one of the reasons I began my own research into Dutch numismatics, particularly regarding their gold ducats, about 2002. And even though I played a large part in producing what I and notable others, Arthur Friedberg, Laurens Schulman, and Jan Pelsdonk among them, consider to be one of the most important works done on the subject and published in 2015, I would also say that there is still largely little work being published. At least little that I am aware of. I am aware of a book or two that have been produced recently by my former student Dariusz Jasek, and also aware that Gold Ducats Of The Netherlands - Vol. Two is currently being written. I can only hope that there is other work and research by others being done for it is an area of numismatics, a very important area, that has long been neglected.[/QUOTE]
