2023 Netherlands 6.988 gm Gold Double Golden Ducat Proof

Dutch Golden Ducats That Helped Make The Netherlands An Economic Powerhouse

Humiliated by France during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48), the power and influence of the Netherlands began to wane following the continental conflict that confirmed Maria Theresa as the ruler of the Habsburg monarchy and cemented the decline of the Dutch Republic. Despite this decline, however, Dutch trade and shipping were able to maintain the level of activity reached at the end of the 17th century and the bankers of Amsterdam remained among the most important in Europe, rivaling those of London and Geneva. Aiding that system of international trade was the Golden Dutch Ducat—a coin that has now been reproduced here as a gleaming gold proof!

One Of The World’s Most Important Coins For International Trade

For Centuries, the Golden Ducat was an important currency in international trade. Its reputation was strong because of its dependable content and weight. In Scandinavia, Poland, Russia, and the Far East, the coin was gladly accepted and often used in trade. The Dutch Golden Ducat, therefore, became one of the most important trade coins in the world. To pay tribute to the coin’s rich trade history, The Royal Dutch Mint annually strikes Golden Ducats on behalf of the Ministry of Finance. Here you can secure the 2023 Netherlands Double Golden Ducat struck in 6.988 grams of highly pure 98.3% gold.

The trusted international trade coin reemerges here as a mouth-watering proof crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. It features Johan Willem Marmé’s historic, 225-year-old design that shows a knight in armor with arrows. From 1763 until 1795, Marmé worked at the provincial and urban Mint of Utrecht as an engraver before being sacked for his then-unpopular political leanings. He was reinstated a decade later when the political winds shifted in his favor. The design also includes the Latin phrase CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT, which means “Small Things Flourish By Concord” or more commonly interpreted to mean “Unity Makes Strength.” The reverse features the Netherlands Coat of Arms along with the lettering MO. AUR. REG. BELGII AD LEGEM IMPERII, which means “Gold Coin Of The Kingdom Of The Netherlands By Law Of The Empire."
