1 Silver Ducat BELG CIV DAVENT

Deventer was one of the few Dutch cities that retained the right to strike silver ducats well into the late seventeenth century, a privilege increasingly at odds with the centralizing ambitions of the States General. By 1698 the city's mint output was modest and administratively contested — the Holland mint lobby had spent decades arguing that municipal issues undermined monetary uniformity across the Republic. That political pressure would eventually succeed; Deventer's independent minting effectively wound down in the early eighteenth century, making the later-dated civic issues disproportionately scarce relative to earlier runs.

The Delmonte reference for this type places it among the final documented emissions from the Deventer facility.
