Rijksdaalder 1620 UNCERTAIN OVERDATE (Delm. 941 / CNM 2.49.47 / HPM Ze 41 ) - 28.21 gram - VF - Under the 2 a 0 is clearly visible, while the number below the second digit is unclear. The style of the rest of the die seems to however be incongruent with the known examples from the first decade of the 17th century. Instead, the die-cutter may have initially errouneously engraved the last two digits normally in the die, meaning they end up inverted on the coin, and subsequently fixed his mistake. Curious piece and to our knowledge the first example of this die that has come to light! - Ex. 'The Seven Arrows' collection
