Lion Daalder

Dutch Republic (specifically, provinces such as Zeeland - 'ZEL' in the inscription) · Based on the visible inscription 'MO: ARG: ORD: ZEL: TRA: IMP: CIVT: ZEL:', this coin is a Zeeland (ZEL) issue. The exact year is not clearly visible in the image, but Lion Daalders were minted from 1577 until the late 17th century. To determine the precise year, a clearer view of the obverse or reverse would be needed, typically found near the bottom of the lion or on the reverse design. Given the general design, it is likely from the 17th century.

Daalder (or Leeuwendaalder)
