Rated Double R! I bought this coin on Ebay in 2010 raw, and it sat in a dish with other gold coins for 8 years. Then I sent it into NGC in 2017. This is tied with one other example graded MS61 at NGC. None are graded at PCGS.
NGC has graded one 1612 West Friesland ducat at AU50, one Holland 1612 ducat in AU55, one Overyssl 1612 ducat in MS61, one Friesland ducat at MS61 and a handful in lower grades. NGC has also graded a 1612 Gelderland ducat in AU58.
PCGS has graded one 1612 Friesland ducat at AU55.
This coin is from the early days of Dutch exploration and colonization in North America, the Caribbean, South East Asia, and South America.
