This specimen was lot 75035 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2022), where it sold for $1,560. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS. West Friesland. Daalder, 1640. PCGS EF-45. A nicely struck Daalder, with almost none of the flattish areas so common in this type. Very round and well centered, the surfaces are toned a medium gray." "Lion" daalders were struck in West Friesland and other Dutch provinces until 1697 but are seldom seen in collectible condition. 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. This subtype was struck 1616-17 and 1631-49. Half leeuwendaalder (KM 22.1) also exist.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.68 g, 0.750 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM-14.2, Dav-4870.
