Design Double Golden Ducat
Obverse
On the obverse of the Double Golden Ducat, a knight is depicted. This knight with characteristic buttons holds a sword and bundle of arrows in his hands. Around the edge is the motto: "Concordia Res Parvae Crescunt". This is Latin for 'Unity makes small things grow'. The year of issue is also clearly displayed in two parts. The obverse is finished with a double circle of dots.
Reverse
On the reverse of the Double Golden Ducat is always in the middle the Latin text: “Mo. Aur. Reg. Belgii Ad Legem Imperii.”, translated: Gold coin of the Kingdom of the Netherlands according to the law of the Empire. Surrounding this text are beautiful (leaf) decorations with an acanthus motif and shells.
History of Golden Ducats
Since August 4, 1586, the Golden Ducat has been in the Dutch Coin Act in the capacity of trade coin. The Golden Ducat originally comes from the Republic of Venice and was later struck in the Netherlands. The Golden Ducat has always been a strong coin; for centuries, these coins were an important means of payment in international trade. They had a good reputation because of their reliable weight and content.In Scandinavia, Poland, and Russia they were readily accepted, and the Golden Ducat was widely used in trade with Asia. The Dutch Golden Ducat, therefore, became one of the most important trade coins in the world. The Royal Dutch Mint strikes new Double and Single Golden Ducats every year on behalf of the Ministry of Finance to keep the memory of the Netherlands' rich trading history alive.
The Golden Ducat is not legal tender but is a popular investment and collector's coin. The coins are indeed guaranteed their content and weight. Also, the circulation of each year varies, so years with a low circulation are very popular with collectors.
