West Friesland. Provincial Ducaton (Silver Rider) 1791/0 MS63 NGC, KM127.3, Dav-1834. With sublime pewter coloration accented by hints of champagne and coppery-tone, this large offering displays the celebrated illustration of an armored rider atop a horse and intricately-styled reverse coat of arms. The overdate is clearly visible, even to the unaided eye and the fields are pleasantly clear of any perceivable flaws. Most likely one of the finest extant, as a coin of this size and age rarely escapes the pitfalls of heavy handling and wear. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $120 in VF, $200 in EF, $400 in UNC.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
