This specimen was lot 952 in Jean Elsen sale 106 (Brussels, September 2010), where it sold for 300 euro. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''NEDERLAND, DEVENTER, Stad, AR zilveren dukaat, 1662, Muntmeesterteken: negerhoofd. Droit : Staande ridder naar radié met zwaard en stadswapen. Revers : Gekroond Generaliteitswapen. Klein defect aan de rand. Zeer Fraai à Prachtig.''" (city of Deventer, silver ducat of 1662, Negro head mintmark. Obverse: standing knight with sword holds provincial arms; reverse: crowned arms. Small planchet defect, Very Fine to Extremely Fine.)</blockquote>  This type is noted for 1662-66. It is not priced higher than contemporary German thalers (the Netherlands left the Empire in 1648) but as it normally comes wretchedly struck, a VF-XF example like that shown here is equivalent to a VG-F thaler from [[Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel 1660-HS thaler Dav-6341|Brunswick]] or [[Saxe-Neu-Weimar 1662 thaler Dav-7550|Saxony]].
