Kampen 1685 daalder Dav-4879
This specimen was lot 4924 in Goldberg sale 74 (Los Angeles, June 2013), where it sold for $172.50 including buyer's fees. The catalog description[1] noted, "Netherlands - Kampen. Lion Daalder, 1685. NGC graded VF-35." "Lion" daalders were struck in Kampen and other Dutch provinces until 1697 but are seldom seen. The States General complained for decades that the municipal mints, such as Kampen, cheated on their coinage's weight and alloy and finally closed them all at the end of the seventeenth century. 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.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 27.68 g, 0.750 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Dav-4879, Delm-862, KM 35.4.
