Netherlands East Indies
Dutch Colony - United East India Company Ducaton 1738 AU58 NGC, Dordrecht mint (Holland), KM71, Dav-417, Sch-1738 (RRRR). An extremely rare date of this VOC type, and perhaps the finest extant, with sharply rendered detail over light gray surfaces that are delicately highlighted by green-gold tone. A minor flan imperfection is seen on the reverse rim at 4 o'clock, but it hardly distracts. We note the sale of only a single other example in archived records, and that example, cataloged as a lightly cleaned XF with numerous collector punches, brought $2,200 hammer in our January 2012 auction.
Estimate: 3000-5000 USD
