2025 Netherlands 1-oz Silver Ship Shilling Proof

Fabulous Official Restrike Of The Famous Dutch "Scheepjesschelling" Coin

At its peak during the early 1700s, Dutch shipping accounted for between half and two-thirds of all Asian goods imported into Europe. So, it's no surprise that when Europe's most powerful nations cast their eyes on the New World that the Netherlands played a leading role. It was at this time that the Dutch struck a trading coin, the "Scheepjesschelling," that was a message to the rest of Europe that emphasized the Netherlands' status as a naval power. It's image of a sleek and powerful Dutch warship seemed to be telling other countries to mess with them at your own peril. Now you can get a dazzling official restrike of that famous "Ship Shilling" coin released in 2025 by the Royal Dutch Mint—the same mint that struck the original coins more than 300 years ago when the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, and France were all competing for the juiciest slices of the New World's economic pie!

Gorgeous Restrike From The Land Of Windmills, Tulip Fields & Canals,

Though not a legal-tender coin, this commemorative was struck in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and is part an annual series that depicts the famous Dutch sailing ship. 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, as 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.

The design is a restrike of the famous 1724 Scheepjesschelling from the province of Holland, a region in the western part of the Netherlands, consisting of two provinces: North Holland and South Holland, which are home to major cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Known for its iconic windmills, tulip fields, and canals, Holland plays a central role in Dutch culture, history, and economy. The obverse of this One-Ounce Silver Scheepjesschelling shows a warship along with a legend that reads: "VIGILATE.DEO.CONFIDENTES," which means "Trusting on God." The reverse shows the provincial Coat of Arms of Holland and the inscription "MO.NO. ORG.HOLL.ET.WESTFRI," which means: "New coin of the States of Holland and West Friesland."
