    I have 2, 1617 and 1641. Neither are in as good condition as that one but one can only imagine what history they've seen. My family first came to America in 1635 so I can dream that my coins passed through their hands as some point.

    1648! The end of our 80 year war with the Spanish empire. Finaly kicked them out. Well worth a nice coin.

    Happy new year, BYB! Best of wishes. :)
    According to the label, this wonderfully looking Leeuwendaalder came out of what is now known as the province of Utrecht. So the knight on this coin will probably have been important for what was known as the Lordship of Utrecht back in 1648.
    And on a side note; that code on the side of the knight, MO. ARG. PRO. CONFOE. BELG. TRA.
    is in full: "Moneta Argenta Provinciarum Belgii Traiectum". Which translates to: "Silver coin of the United Provinces of the Netherlands", whereas Traiectum is the Latin name for Utrecht.
    The other side says: "CONFIDENS. DNO. NON. MOVETVR", or: "Confidens Domino non movetur". Which translates to: "He who trusts God is steadfast/firm".

    I am Dutch in my childhood we payed with Daalders( dollar) worth 2.5 gulden.(1.5 euro) It was a giant coin with silver in it. It was the size of 2 times a 2 euro coin. It also was not attracted to a magnet so people lost a lot of the in the waters here. A had a lot of them if a knew the value I wouldn't throw them away for euros.

      That's not true. In Dutch a "RIJKSdaalder" used to be 2.5 guilders. A "Daalder" was 1.5 guilders

    It is a very good leuwen-daalder! MS63 is very well preserved, so it can't be much circulated. The quality and degree of preservation have more connection with a higher value, as cracks are rather common, It is an original daler, minted in Utrecht. The same motif was used in other mints in the Dutch Providences. Like West-Frisia, Kempen, Zwolle, Over-Ijsel, Gelderland and so on. I have a very similar piece, but it is not so much cracked from the striking and is dated 1645/6 (changed stamp). It is somewhat more worn, but not much. This type of daalder, is similar to 48 duit in smaller silver coins. It is probably having a very uniform alloy.

    A roaring start to 2021,BYB. Love the coin and your narrative 👍
    Very envious, would love to have an original Dutch Lion dollar (Leeuwendaalder) in my collection. So far I've only managed a modern restrike from the Royal Dutch Mint, and there's a set of these restrikes from the various provinces in The Netherlands.
    You say a Silver Forum member let you have this coin to feature IFF, I'd rather hoped it is yours, a part of the numismatic collection you have.
    Thanks for another great episode of IFF.
