This specimen was lot 34043 in Heritage sale 3106 (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $1,320. The catalog description[1] noted, "Netherlands: Kampen. City Lion Daalder 1652 MS63 NGC. A wonderfully well-preserved Choice specimen of this pleasing type, with salt-gray patination. A minor planchet crack mentioned for accuracy, that takes nothing away from the visual allure of this sole highest graded piece in the NGC census. From the Coenen Collection." "Lion" daalders were struck in the town of Kampen and other Dutch provinces until 1697 but are seldom seen in collectible condition. This subtype is listed for 1646, 1650-57, 1662-64. Simultaneous with the Lion daalder (48 stuivers) was the "prince" daalder (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. The municipal mints' habit of coining to short weight and short alloy infuriated the Estates General, which spent most of the seventeenth century on a campaign to close them all.
