Question about a coin in Franklin's Autobiography

Shoedog

Does anyone have any idea what a Dutch Dollar is?

In the Ben Franklin Autobiography "my whole stock of cash consisted of a Dutch Dollar and about a Shilling in copper"

Anyone have any reference on this coin that must have circulated in the colonies

Thanks

The only large Netherlands crown size silver coin I could find to fit that time frame were called Ducatons also called Ducatone. According to my reference they were used in the Dutch colonies and bear a special colonial mark.
