AV Ducat 1758 Utrecht with c/m 'Java' (Ref.: Scho. 438d R4; Passon 19.2 R4 (no illustration); Fr.7) - 3.22 gram - VF+ - In 1753 it was resolved that 11,450 milled Ducats, struck at the various provincial mints in the Netherlands, which had just arrived at Batavia for local use be counterstamped with the word ‘Djawa’ in Arabic characters, to the left of the knight. The rating was Fl.6:12:-., while the Ducats not thus stamped circulated at Fl.6:-:- to prevent export and import by private individuals. From the Placard of 8 January 1760 it appears that Ducats with a false countermark had also been brought in circulation. By order of the home authorities of the Company the stamping of the Ducats was stopped in 1761. _x000D_ Remark: Not encapsulated by NGC, because of ‘ALTERED SURFACE’ therefore sold as it is, no return. Despite of showing traces of ex mount and with somewhat cleaned surface, it still is a very desirable and extremely rare coin with an ORIGINAL countermark

AV Ducat 1754 Westfrisia with a contempoary false c/m 'Java' (Ref.: Scho. 438h; Passon 19.3; Fr.7) - 3.48 gram - From the Placard of 8 January 1760 it appears that Ducats with a false countermark had also been brought in circulation. By order of the home authorities of the Company the stamping of the Ducats was stopped in 1761. _x000D_ Remark: Not encapsulated by NGC, because of ‘NO DECISION’ therefore sold as it is, no return. The reservation by NGC is correct as the countermark proves to be a contemporary counterfeit (as referred to in the Placard of 8 Janauary 1760), the host coin however is perfectly genuine - VF+
