Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse depicts faithful renderings of both the obverse and reverse of the famous Bohemian 40-Ducat piece of 1629, struck under Ferdinand III, presented as two overlapping circular coin portraits set against a horizontally engine-turned field. The left coin portrait shows a right-facing armoured bust of Ferdinand III surrounded by the legend HVNG:BOHEMIÆ·REX:FERDINANDVS·III·D:G:, with the denomination numeral 40 at the base. The right coin portrait displays the crowned imperial coat of arms with the legend AUSTRIÆ ARCHIDVX. Above both portraits, the series inscription MOST VALUABLE GOLD COINS IN THE WORLD arcs in two lines, while DUKAT FERDINAND III. appears in the central lower field and the face value 10 DOLLARS is prominently displayed along the lower border.

Aanvullende informatie

The 40 Ducat piece of 1629 was among the largest gold coins struck by the Dutch Republic, produced by the Dordrecht mint as a showpiece of mercantile wealth rather than a practical circulating denomination. At 139.1 grams of fine gold, originals were essentially bullion display objects for wealthy merchants and foreign dignitaries. This 2018 Solomon Islands issue reproduces the design at a fraction of that mass — 0.311 grams against the original's staggering weight — making it a miniaturization exercise more than a tribute coin in any meaningful monetary sense.
