The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;''VLAANDEREN, Graafschap, Philips IV (1621-1665), AR dukaton, 1633, Brugge. Eerste type. Vz/ Bb. r., met brede kraag. Kz/ Gekroond wapenschild gehouden door twee leeuwen. Onderaan het juweel van het Gulden Vlies. Minieme barstjes in de muntplaat. Scherp portret. Zeer zeldzaam in deze kwaliteit.'' ([[Netherlands, Spanish|county of Flanders]], Philip IV (1621-65). silver ducaton of 1634, Bruges mint, first type. Obverse: bust with ruffed collar; reverse: crowned arms supported by two lions, jewels of the Order of the Golden Fleece below. Minor planchet defects, sharp portrait, very rare in this quality, about Extremely Fine.)&lt;/blockquote&gt; Ducatons were issued in the Spanish Netherlands and associated states (including the [[Liege 1671 ducaton Dav-4296|bishopric of Liège]] and Franche Comte) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, where they competed with French écus, German talers and Dutch daalders and patagons. The type shown here was struck at the Bruges mint 1622 and 1631-36. A very similar coin was struck for Artois ([[Artois 1635 ducaton Dav-4448|Dav-4448]]), Brabant ([[Brabant 1631(a) 2 ducaton Dav-4443|Dav-4443]]) and Tournai ([[Tournai 1632 ducaton Dav-4450|Dav-4450]]). The series is plagued by bad planchets and poor strikes, reducing their appeal to collectors.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 32.48 g, 0.944 fine silver, .985 troy oz ASW, this specimen 32,51 g.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-4446]], KM 35, G.H. 327-6a; Delm. 276; VH 640. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Cuhaj, George S., and Thomas Michael, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1601-1700, 6th ed.'', Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2014.<br /> * Davenport, John S., ''European Crowns, 1600-1700,'' Galesburg, IL, 1974.<br /> * van Gelder, H.
