Obverse: Armored knight standing right, holding a sword and a bundle of seven arrows—symbols of military strength and the unity of the seven provinces. The Latin legend “CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT” translates to “Unity makes strength,” with the date “1760” flanking the figure.
Reverse: Latin legend across five lines within a square ornamental border: “MO.ORD PROVIN FOEDER BELG AD LEG IMP,” indicating "Money of the Province of the United Netherlands according to the law of the Empire."
Holland mint. Approximately 3.49 grams of .986 fine gold. This PCGS AU55 specimen retains excellent definition in both the devices and legends, with a soft golden patina across slightly reflective fields. The coin shows modest wear but remains sharp for the grade. Dutch gold ducats of this era are highly collectible for their consistent design and international historical relevance, making this piece a strong addition to world gold holdings.
