NETHERLANDS. Gelderland. Ducat, 1648. NGC AU-58.
Fr-237; KM-5. A significant year historically for the Netherlands. The Peace of Münster was signed between the Dutch Republic and Spain in 1648. It was a landmark treaty for the Dutch Republic and one of the key events in Dutch history; with it, the independence of the United Netherlands was finally recognized by the Spanish crown. The treaty was a part of the Peace of Westphalia which ended both the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War. A numismatic connection to these heady times! Struck from worn dies, but with little actual circulation. Highly desirable on multiple levels. NGC AU-58.
Estimate: $500.00- $700.00
