This specimen was lot 47260 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Oklahoma City, OK, August 2025), where it sold for $264. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "NETHERLANDS. [[Netherlands, Westfriesland|West Friesland]]. Lion Daalder, 1647. NGC AU-53." "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 ([[Westfriesland 1649 rijksdaalder Dav-4842|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 ''leeuwendaalders'' ([[Westfriesland 1641 1/2 daalder|KM 22.1]]) also exist.
