The Stunning, Classic Lion Dollars!

The Netherlands produced several coins in the late 1500s specifically to facilitate export trade.

The Dutch Lion Dollar—or is considered by many coin experts to be America’s first silver dollar. We’ll let the experts debate that question, but it If it’s not the first silver dollar to circulate in the New World, it was certainly one of the first and proved to be an important coin for Colonial America’s trade and commerce.
