Gros au Cavalier Publique Deposited
A name given to coins bearing on the obverse the figure of a knight on horseback. The term is generally applied to the French and Flemish series, the provinces of the Low Countries retaining the name Rijder (q.v.). Consequently the Cavalier d'Or is the same as the Gouden Rijder, and the Cavalier d'Argent is the Rijderdaelder. A silver Gros au Cavalier was struck by John II, Count of Hainaut (1280-1304).
