The Gold Ducat was a widely recognized trade coin in Europe, particularly during the 18th century. The Netherlands, known for its powerful maritime trade and economic influence, issued these coins to facilitate international trade. The 1780 Gold Ducat is part of this legacy, representing the economic strength and stability of the Dutch Republic during this period.
The obverse of the 1780 Gold Ducat features an armored knight standing and holding a bundle of arrows, which symbolizes unity and strength. The knight divides the date, and the legend around the coin reads "CONCORDIA RES PAR CRES HOL", which translates to "Unity Makes Strength".
The reverse, the coin has an inscription within an ornamented square. The inscription reads "MO:ORD:/ PROVIN:/ FOEDER BELGAD/ LEGIMP", which stands for "Money of the Province of the United Netherlands, according to the law of the Empire".
