2023 Netherlands 1-oz Silver Ship Shilling Proof

Fabulous Official Restrike Of The Famous Dutch “Scheepjesschelling” Coin

From the moment Christopher Columbus first set foot in America, Europe’s most powerful nations cast their eyes upon the New World where untold riches were just waiting for the taking. Among the countries that played a leading world in the shipping trade between Europe and the New World was the Netherlands. Dutch ships, already built to fish the shallow waters near the coast, turned out to be quite efficient at transporting cargo across the stormy Baltic and North Seas, a well as being able to withstand the thousands of miles required to traverse the waters of Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in search of exotic spices, tea, coffee, drugs, perfumes, dyestuffs, sugar, and saltpeter. At its peak, Dutch shipping accounted for between half and two-thirds of all Asian goods imported into Europe.

Official Restrike Of The Original “Scheepjesschelling”

It was at about this time in 1761 that the Dutch struck a trading coin, the “Scheepjesschelling,” that was a message to the rest of Europe that emphasized its status as a naval power. It’s image of a sleek and powerful Dutch warship seed to be telling other countries to mess with them at your own peril. In fact, the message that was engraved on the coin reads, “ITA. RELINQUENDA. UT. ACCEPTA,” a proverb loosely translated that means “Leave it like you got it,” which basically means “Hands Off!” Now you can get a dazzling official restrike of that famous “Ship Shilling” coin released in 2023 by the Dutch Royal Mint—the same mint that struck the original coins more than 260 years ago when the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, and France were all competing for the juiciest slices of the New World’s economic pie!
