Jean Elsen sale 123, lot 1336
Zwolle JE 123-1336r.jpg
Zwolle in 1648

This specimen was lot 1336 in Jean Elsen sale 123 (Brussels, December 2014), where it sold for €240 (about US$349 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"NEDERLAND, ZWOLLE, Stad, AR zilveren dukaat, 1664, Mmt. bloem. Droit: Staande ridder naar radié met zwaard en provinciewapen. Revers: Gekroond Generaliteitswapen. Zeldzaam. Einde muntplaat. bijna Zeer Fraai. (Netherlands, city of Zwolle, silver ducat of 1664, mintmark flower. Obverse: standing knight with sword supports the provincial arms; reverse: crowned arms of the Generality. Scarce, mint clip, about very fine.)"

This type, listed for 1659-69, is not listed as expensive but usually comes in poor condition as most were badly struck. Zwolle is a town in the province of Overijssel. 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.

Recorded mintage: unknown but a scarce date.

Specification: 28.25 g, 0.873 fine silver, this specimen 28,22 g.

Catalog reference: Verk., 171, 4; Delm-995 (R4); CNM 2.52.70, Dav-4921, KM 60.
