| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a five-line Latin inscription set within a rectilinear, ornamented frame decorated with elaborate Baroque scrollwork and foliate flourishes at all four corners, as well as at the top and bottom centers. The inner square border encloses the abbreviated legend in bold capital letters, reading across five lines. The surrounding ornamental cartouche is rendered in fine relief, with symmetrical acanthus-like volutes filling the field between the central frame and the coin's milled edge. The overall composition is formal and heraldic, consistent with the standard reverse type used across Dutch Republic gold ducats of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Holland's gold ducat was among the most internationally trusted trade coins of the eighteenth century, circulating far beyond the Dutch Republic into the Baltic grain trade, the Levant, and deep into Russian commercial networks. Catherine the Great's Russia imported Dutch ducats in such quantities that the St. Petersburg mint eventually began striking official imitations — essentially counterfeits with state sanction — to meet domestic demand without hemorrhaging silver reserves.
The "later type" distinction reflects a die modification introduced around mid-century, separating this issue from earlier Holland ducats in the series. KM#12.3 specifically.
