(Netherlands, province of Utrecht, silver ducat of 1662. Obverse: standing knight with sword and the provincial arms; reverse: crowmed arms of the Generality. Adjustment marks on the reverse, good Very Fine.)"
Silver ducats were struck in Utrecht and other Dutch provinces until 1794 and are the most common large Dutch silver coin. Simultaneous with the the silver ducat (also 48 stuivers) was the "prince" daalder (40 stuivers), Lion daalder (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 is listed for 1659-64, 1668-74.
