Netherlands East Indies
Dutch Colony. United East India Company Ducaton (Silver Rider) 1739 MS62 NGC, Dordrecht mint, KM71, Dav-417, Scholten-28b (RR). Reeded edge. Holland issue. A truly breathtaking trade specimen and one of the most celebrated United East India Company issues, famed for its incredibly intricacy of engraving detail, large size and overall medallic appearance. This offering admirably represents the type, offering true Mint State appeal with perfectly rendered devices, every minute element fully represented and scarcely touched since striking; the planchet has developed an appealing gunmetal gray color in the fields, darkening to a charcoal ring at the peripheries, touched by just a tinge of golden tone. The last of this type we handled was an inferior AU58 which realized $19,200 at our January 2019 sale, and we have no doubts that this stunning Silver Rider will attract even more attention from the many collectors appreciative of its beauty.
