Struck by the Royal Dutch Mint, this exceptional collectible contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and recreates the legendary Dutch Lion Dollar (Leeuwendaalder) design that circulated across Europe, Asia, and the Americas for centuries. As the fourth release in the Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Series, this limited-edition proof restrike combines historic significance with the precision craftsmanship of a world-renowned sovereign mint.
Originally introduced in 1575 in the Dutch province of Holland, the Lion Dollar became one of the most recognizable silver trade coins of the Dutch Republic. During the 17th century, multiple Dutch provinces produced their own versions of the coin, and its consistent weight, trusted silver content, and recognizable imagery helped it gain acceptance far beyond the Netherlands.
The Lion Dollar became an important international trade currency, circulating throughout regions including the Middle East, Dutch East Indies, and the colonies of British North America. Its widespread use and reputation for reliability influenced the development of other trade dollars and made it an important part of global commerce during the Age of Exploration.
