The Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt (Royal Dutch Mint), with roots in Utrecht from 1567, is one of Europe’s historic mints. Its enduring gold product is the Netherlands Gold Ducat, a trade coin whose design — a standing armoured knight — has barely changed since the 16th century and which the Mint still strikes today to its traditional .983 fineness.
The Dutch Ducat is a piece of living monetary history: the same coin that financed the Dutch Golden Age, still issued as legal-tender investment gold for collectors who value its continuity and craftsmanship.
