Utrecht 1687 duit
This specimen was lot 45470 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS. [Netherlands, Utrecht|Utrecht]. Duit, 1687. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield. A somewhat crudely struck Duit, on a porous planchet, with nevertheless flashy fields and decent detail. The area of the date shows considerable weakness, though it is still possible to make out." During the seventeenth century, duits were struck not by the province but by the city of Utrecht. Varieties include KM 22 (1617-37), KM 44 (1657-71, 1676-77, 1681-87) and KM 66 (1681-90) plus a few in silver and gold, struck for presentation.
