This specimen was lot 1450 in Ponterio sale 182 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $646.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS. Utrecht. Lion Daalder, 1661. NGC MS-62." "Lion" daalders were struck in Utrecht and other Dutch provinces until 1697 but are seldom seen. Simultaneous with the Lion daalder (48 stuivers) was the "prince" daalder (40 stuivers), the silver ducat (also 48 stuivers), the three gulden (60 stuivers) and the ducaton (silver rider). The catalog does not explain why so many different large silver coins were felt to be necessary.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.68 g, 0.750 fine silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-4863; KM 32.
