This piece arrived from Ebay several days ago. I won it for cheaper than I expected it to go for, and I'm not sure if anyone else realized what it was.
When I first saw this listing, I thought it looked a bit weird - it's clearly milled, while most Dutch coinage at this point was still hammered. Did a bit of research and it turns out this is from a private mint in Enkhuizen called Dirk Bosch. The only auction comps I could easily find were of higher grade pieces that garnered prices well into four figures.
It's a rare coin from what I can tell, and the design is quite attractive.
