1 Ducat Netherlands Gold Coin (Random Year, Varied Condition) l JM Bullion™

The Mint says about this coin:

The history of the ducat gold coin in Europe dates back to the year 1252 when mints in Florence and Genoa began issuing florins. That denomination was not standardized for weight and fineness at first, but did lead to the introduction of a standardized ducat in 1285 in Venice. Nearly three centuries later, the first Netherlands Ducat denomination was issued.
