REPUBLIC OF THE SEVEN UNITED NETHERLANDS. Overijssel. 1616/Z 1/2 Leeuwendaalder. Delmonte-885, KM-11.1. AU-53 (PCGS). Uncommonly well detailed for one of these, we note bold to sharp definition in virtually all areas, just minor softness at the lower obverse and reverse borders, also at the rampant lion's front paws on the latter side. The entire design is fully appreciable, as such, and the surfaces retain appreciable luster in a softly frosted texture. Naturally and attractively retoning, as well, with iridescent golden-apricot and powder blue nestling among the design elements. This type's connection to colonial American commerce is not as well established as that of its leeuwendaalder counterpart, but examples are still eagerly sought by advanced collectors in this discipline, who recognize that the 1/2 leeuweendaalder is very much the rarer type. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 413184. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
