Beschrijving voorzijde Armored knight standing facing right, dividing the date at either side, brandishing a sword upright in his right hand and grasping a bundle of seven arrows in his left hand, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The figure is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style typical of hammered Dutch provincial gold coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle.

Aanvullende informatie

Gelderland's gold ducat coinage during this period emerged from a province still asserting its economic weight within the Dutch Republic's federated structure, where each province retained the right to strike gold independently — a source of constant friction with the States-General, which repeatedly sought to standardize coinage across all seven provinces. The two-ducat denomination was never issued in large quantities by any Dutch provincial mint, and Gelderland's output in particular was modest, making survivors scarce relative to the single-ducat series.

The Delmonte reference places this squarely among the rarest of the provincial gold issues catalogued in his 1901 study.
