This specimen was lot 3233 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2017), where it sold for $1,292.50. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam. 40 Stuivers, 1578. NGC EF-45. 36 x 36 mm. Solder Pot assayer mark above circle bearing city arms with imperial crown supported by lions. Reverse: Beaded circle with thick wreath enclosing P(RO)/ AR.(IS) ET/ FO(CIS), "For Home and Hearth". From the year of the Alteratie (Eng: Alteration), which was the name given to the change of power in Amsterdam on May 26, 1578, when the Catholic city government was deposed in favor of a Protestant one. The change resulted in the city's allegiance changing from Philip II (Spain) to William of Orange towards the beginning of the Eighty Years' War. Exceptionally well preserved with moderate reverse doubling, though splendidly struck overall on a hefty planchet with deep toning. A highly desirable example of this siege coinage from a turbulent period in the Netherlands' history." We note that forty stuivers = two gulden. Regular issues included the Lion daalder (40 stuivers), the "prince" daalder (50 stuivers), the silver ducat (48 stuivers), the three gulden (57 stuivers) and the ducaton (silver rider or 60 stuivers).

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' silver.

''Catalog reference:'' Delm-184; Maill-4.5; VG-109b.
