Provincial gold Stuiver 1755 UNC Details (Obverse Spot Removed) NGC. An elusive type Dutch curiosity, with those off-metal Stuivers struck in gold coming to our auctions every so often, with none before originating from Gelderland. With its as-struck level of detail produced to exact calculating and charming sun-gold appearances, we expect an elevated collector response when crossing the auction block. From the Coenen Collection." The stuiver struck for circulation (KM 82) was 0.81 g, 0.583 fine silver. It was made 1738-39, 1759-61 and 1764-66 but not in 1755. The denomination was struck in gold for presentation 1738, 1747-61 and, being carefully saved, usually comes nice. These presentation pieces must have been quite popular as all the provinces made them, using a variety of small denominations.
