Owner Comments:
This coin is not great but it is tough to find anything from the 1680's. The head is blank and almost off the top of the coin, but all other details are very nice. There also is some kind of orange or toning issue between the back of the knight's head and his sword. NGC and PCGS have not certified any other Netherlands ducats from any mint from 1685.
A rosette is visible between the knight's legs, appearing (with slight changes) on ducats minted in Utrecht in the years 1679–1731 and 1735–1736. So this is the first of those that I have.
