The first specimen was lot 3307 in Sincona sale 83 (Zürich, May 2023), where it sold for 6,500 CHF (about US$8,699 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "''Utrecht, Provinz, Cavalier d'or 1607/6, Utrecht. Goldener Reiter - Grote gouden rijder. Selten. NGC UNC Details. Leicht gereinigt. Aus dem Lager der Schweizerischen Kreditanstalt, Zürich, November 1994'' (province of [[Netherlands, Utrecht|Utrecht]], gold cavalier of 1607, Utrecht mint, 1607/6 overdate. Rare, Lightly cleaned)." The ''cavalier d'or'' was struck by Utrecht (shown here), Overijssel ([[Overijssel 1607 cavalier d'or Fr-271|KM 16]], struck 1606 and 1616-20), Holland ([[Holland 1608 cavalier d'or Fr-251|KM 19]], struck 1606-32), Gelderland ([[Gelderland 1608 cavalier d'or Fr-240|KM 18]], struck 1606-28), Friesland (KM 25, struck 1607-28), Westfriesland (KM 27, struck 1621-27), Zeeland (KM 18, sporadic issues 1606-44) and Zwolle (KM 51, 1644 only). Despite what seems to be an extensive issue the coin is rare from any province. Utrecht may be the commonest as it is the only issue with a photo in the SCWC. The second specimen was lot 523 in Schulman auction 379 (Amsterdam, June 2024), where it sold for €7,000 (about US$8,995 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''UTRECHT Provincie 1581 - 1795. Grote oude gouden rijder. 1607 over 1606, Gold, UTRECHT Type I op groot plaatje.
