Netherlands, Holland 1 Gulden 1762

Holland – 1 Gulden 1762 – Very rare year – Silver NORTHERN NETHERLANDS – REPUBLIC (1581–1795) Province Holland | Year 1762 Description Very rare silver gulden from 1762, minted for the province of Holland during the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. The year 1762 is particularly scarce. Many originally minted gulden in 1762 were later overstruck to the year 1763, causing specimens with the original year 1762 to be offered only sporadically today. An interesting issue for the specialized collector of Dutch gulden.

What is notable about this year is the overstriking of a large number of gulden from 1762 to 1763. As a result, specimens with the original year 1762 are considerably rarer.
