Holland 1761 10 stuivers
This specimen was lot 1919 in Jean Elsen sale 149 (Brussels, December 2021), where it sold for €95 (about US$129 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"NEDERLAND, HOLLAND, Provincie, AR 10 stuiver (Nederlandse halve gulden), 1761. Vz/ Staande maagd met speer en vrijheidshoed. Kz/ Gekroond Generaliteitswapen. bijna Prachtig. (Netherlands, province of Holland, silver ten stuivers or half gulden of 1761. Obverse: standing maid with spear and pillar; reverse: crowned arms of the Generality. about Extremely Fine.)"
This type was struck 1748-51 and 1761-62 but seems to have been less popular than the more available one gulden. A few were struck in gold.
