1576 Dutch New York Lion Dollar NGC Genuine
We Ain't "Lion", This Dutch "Daaldar" Gives a Glimpse Into Colonial Times
When the Dutch came to the New World, they established a colony named New Amsterdam. You may know it better by its current name -- New York!
Before the formation of the United States of America, immigrants in New Amsterdam traded with these Dutch-minted Dutch Lion "Daalders", the basis for our own U.S. dollar denomination. Struck by the Dutch Republic as an international trade coin, the Lion Dollar was popular in the Dutch East Indies as well as the American colonies. Thanks to their large 40.5 mm diameter and 75% silver purity, they graced many a pocket in the days preceding our nation, as shown by their certified NGC Genuine Circulated condition.
This old money is a genuine, Dutch New York Lion Dollar struck in 1576. Imagine the sense of wonder and history you’ll feel when you hold a coin this old in your hand. Where might it have been spent? What were the dreams of the pre-New Yorkers who held it in their own hand? Don't wait another minute, order today to add this compelling coin to your collection from GovMint.com!
