25.9 grams.
By the mid-1600s the Dutch lion daalder had become the preferred trading coin in the eastern Mediterranean, and in order to certify genuine examples from fakes seized from Turkish vessels, the Grand Master of Malta ordered a countermark with his arms (three fleurs-de-lis) to be stamped on the good coins, a somewhat rare and popular issue in today's market. The host coin is Fine, with weak spots but clear details all over, lightly toned, with what appears to be a small (old) test mark near the edge to further attest to its history.
Estimate: $500-$750. |
