2023 Netherlands 1-oz Gold Ducaton Proof

The Dutch Ducaton Rides Again!

Long before the Lone Ranger patrolled the wild West astride Gold, his spirited white horse, the Netherlands, or at least is economic interests—were defended by the “Gold Rider,” a dynamic trade coin that helped the Dutch compete against well-known world coins such as the Spanish dollar. Known as the “Ducaton,” the Gold Rider was a beloved trade coin minted from 1659 to 1798 by the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. Now the Gold Rider makes its triumphant return on this official restrike by the Royal Dutch Mint that was based on an original 1673 Ducaton.

Exquisite Details Pays Tribute To The Famous Gold Rider

The obverse shows a heavily armored knight riding his trusty steed while brandishing a sword high above his head. An inscription along the rim reads “MO.NO.ARG.PRO.CON FOE.BELG.D.GEL.C.Z.” which translates to “New Gold coin of the Dutch Republic. Duchy of Gelderland.” The reverse of this fabulous restrike shows a pair of lions holding up the crowned Coat of Arms for the United Netherlands along with the lettering CONCORDIA. RES.PARVAE. CRESCVNT. which translates to “Concordance makes small things grow." The detail on this commemorative is so exquisite that you can see every rivet in the knight’s armor on the obverse. Turn the piece over and check out the lion featured as the center of the Coat of Arms and you’ll see that it’s holding a sheaf of arrows, symbolizing the unity of the provinces, and brandishing a sword in defense of their liberty!
