This specimen was lot 1752 in Jean Elsen sale 141 (Brussels, June 2019), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''NEDERLAND, ZEELAND, provinciale leeuwendaalder, 1597. Vz/ Ridder rechtsom kijkend met voor zich het provinciewapen. Kz/ Zeeuwse leeuw l. Fraai à Zeer Fraai.'' (Netherlands, province of Zeeland, lion daalder of 1597. Obverse: standing knight supports the provincial arms; reverse: rampant lion left. Fine - Very Fine.)"</blockquote> Lion daalders were struck in most of the provinces that today make up the Netherlands. This type, issued 1597-99, is closely related to that struck in [[Netherlands, Zeeland|Zeeland]] for 1606-1658 but shows the lion wading thru surf rather than ramping over dry land.
