West Friesland. Provincial silver Ducaton 1673, KM63.2, Dav-4941A, Delm-1021b, MS64 NGC. Edge lettered type. Masterfully produced at the private mint of Dirck Bosch in Enkhuizen with coarse dentils at the edges that beautifully frame the expertly engraved centers. The obverse, with its knight riding horse depiction, skillfully renders minute detail down to the horse's ornamental garments. The crowned arms of West Friesland, with two rampant lions, sit below. One the reverse, two lions support the crowned arms of the Netherlands, with the reduced arms of Enkhuizen, depicting three herring, below. An absolutely wonderful specimen, and certainly the finest extant, with no bothersome marks, full design definition and a fully original layer of medium brown patina that turns to deep multicolored iridescence at the peripheries. As much a piece of art as it is a coin. Realized $17,625.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
Utrecht. Provincial silver Ducat (48 Stuiver) 1762, KM93.1, Dav-1845, MS64 NGC. A prolific type, but the present specimen is certainly among the finest survivors from it, as limited evidence of surface contact is noticed and the design has been executed to impressive fullness. Most pleasing however might be the patina, as a mixture of vivid rainbow colors swirls around the surfaces and adds to the semi-prooflike luster already exhibited within the fields. For one who collects by type, this is a lot that certainly can't be overlooked. Realized $5,581.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

Utrecht-Bishopric. David of Burgundy gold Florin 1492, Dorestad mint, Fr-193, Levinson-III-231 (R4), XF45 NGC. MO'*nO' | AVR'*?A | PI'*TRA | I?CT'*"92 (inverted 7 over 7), Shield of Burgundy over long cross / ?L?GIT * DA | VIT * SW' SVV', King David on gothic throne playing harp, the arms of Utrecht at his feet. A lovely example with orange-gold surfaces that display thick frosty luster in the fields. Interestingly, the reverse die was rotated 90 degrees clockwise to the obverse when struck, but the result has left most of the design crisply rendered with only slight doubling noted along the obverse legends. Some debris, located within the protected crevasses, confirms originality. An extremely rare type by every measure, with no traceable records of auction sales within at least the past decade. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $19,975.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
