Netherlands East Indies
Dutch Colony. United East India Company Gulden 1786/1765 AU58 NGC, cf. KM139 (unlisted overdate), Scholten-69d (same). Variety with Arabic 1 and bent 7. West Friesland issue. A highly puzzling unpublished overdate for the issue, the nature of which, when taken together with the coarse engraving style of Pallas and thick die polish lines around her figure, seems to suggest that the present offering was struck from reworked dies. Nonetheless a still quite striking example of the style brimming with golden luster.
