Commentary
Ce double ducat d’argent présente la particularité d’avoir une inscription nominative sur la tranche. La personne mentionnée est sans doute celle à qui la monnaie a été offerte officiellement, nous serions en présence d’une pièce d’hommage.
This silver double ducat has the particularity of having a nominative inscription on the edge. The person mentioned is undoubtedly the one to whom the coin was officially offered; we would be in the presence of a tribute coin.

Historical background

On January 23, 1579, the five provinces of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland and Friesland United Provinces formed a federal state during the Union of Utrecht. The province of Overijssel joined the five provinces in the same year, that of Groningen in 1594. In July 1581, the deputies of the northern provinces declared Philip II deposed. In 1795, the French temporarily instituted the Batavian Republic which replaced the United Provinces..
