Owner Comments:
This is the first year these uniform-weight and purity standing-knight style ducats started getting struck by the newly declared-independent United Provinces of the Netherlands. They declared independence from Spain in 1579. These ducats are still being minted today in approximately the same weight and purity of gold. There is an easily obtainable 1986 ducat from the Dutch Mint celebrating 400 years of the series.
