Dutch lion dollar
A. Delmonte in his 1967 standard reference The Silver Benelux assigned a
date of 1597 to an undated lion dollar from Campen (Delmonte 861). Anybody know why, the basis for this date? -- Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

Anybody know why, the basis for this date? -- Consumer:http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur:http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit:http://rg.ancients.info/bogos Catalogus 2 van de Zilveren Munten published by Uitgeverij Zonnebloem, Amsterdam, 1974, lists this Kampen lion dollar on p. 146. There are two varieties, no date and 1597. The mintmark seems to have been used throughout the period 1590-1646, so that is little help in pinning down the date. I don't read Dutch, but the brief notes do not seem to indicate any special issue in 1597 alone. My guess is that Delmonte (I do not have his catalog) conflated the undated and dated issues, listing them both under 1597--unless he indicates that the actual mintage records (or other indication of issue) survived and that he consulted them. |
