Dear Hivers,
In the email today an email with a heads up for the third restrike series of the Dutch Scheepjesschelling a famous silver trade coin of the Netherlands.
As we are getting used to the 2023 restrikes will be in 1 and 2 ounce silver and a 11 graam and 22 gramm golden example.
The packaging for the silver is like before whereas the gold now is in 3d printed treasure box.
On one side you can see " MON. NOV. ORDIN. WEST. FRISIASE 2023 and 2 lions in the weapon of West Friesland and 6 S for 6 stuivers. (ui is difficult for non Dutch to pronounce). "New silver money(coin= munt) of west friesland"
Thether side the war ship (scheepje is a small ship but it is a large warship) and latin
‘DEVS. FORTITVDO. ET. SPES. NOSTRA’.
meaning dit betekent ‘God is our strength and hope’.
WEST FRIESLAND
Friesland is located in the north of the Netherlands but went all the way to the NOrth of current days Germany. Apart from that the other side of the Southern See (now diked and therefore a lake) is called West Friesland. Now connected via a 70 km (40 mi) dike to Friesland.
Come and see for yourself!
