The design follows the standard pattern introduced in 1586: a standing armored knight holding a sword and a sheaf of arrows, symbolizing unity among the Seven Provinces. These coins were trusted trade pieces issued by the VOC (Dutch East India Company) and circulated widely in European and Asian commerce. The coin was struck at the Dordrecht Mint during the War of Austrian Succession (1740–1748), a period of both political upheaval and sustained commercial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1081\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eObverse\u003c\/strong\u003e: Depicts an \u003cstrong data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"880\"\u003earmored knight standing\u003c\/strong\u003e holding a sword and bundle of arrows.

By contrast, an About Uncirculated (AU) coin (grades AU50–58) will show slight high-point rub or wear from brief circulation. Such wear noticeably dulls luster and detail. Even lower Mint State (MS60–62) coins, while unworn, tend to have more distracting marks or dullness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.45g Beautifully choice, round.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIZE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67718292111530,"sku":"4978416-004","price":4692.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1602\/9059\/products\/4978416-004.jpg?v=1668627655","url":"https:\/\/bmcham.com\/products\/1741-holland-ducat-ngc-ms63-1","provider":"Hard Asset Management, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
