Last but not least - Gold 2 ducat

Here is my last purchase for 2007 recently acquired from David Lawrence Rare Coins.

Netherlands 1807 2 Ducat
NGC MS-62
KM#27 / Fr. 324 / Delmonte 1175
Mintage 156,000
This coin is listed by Delmonte as a R-2 on its rarity scale which is "Very Rare" and thus you do not see these often in the wild and I consider it one of my best finds.
As the description denomination implies, this coin is exactly double the weight of the classic ducat and identical in its design.

    Multiple ducats are always a pleasure to hold (and behold), and this one is a very nice example with original luster and a sharp strike. Congrats on the find!
