Jean Elsen sale 145, lot 2202

This specimen was lot 2202 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €130 (about US$185 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"NEDERLAND, HOLLAND, Provincie, AR provinciale leeuwendaalder, 1586. Vz/ Ridder rechtsom kijkend met voor zich een wapen met een klimmende leeuw. Kz/ Klimmende leeuw l. Zeer Fraai. (Netherlands, province of Holland, silver lion daalder of 1586. Obverse: standing knight supporting a shield with a rampant lion; reverse: rampant lion left. Very Fine.)"

Altho some of the northern provinces were still featuring Philip II on their coins, Holland staked her claim to independence with this lion dollar, first struck in 1576. This design, tariffed at 48 stuivers, would be struck by all of the United Provinces until the end of the seventeenth century.

Reported Mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.63 g, 0.750 fine silver, this specimen 27,11 g.
