1750 Netherland Holland 2 Ducat PCGS MS63. KM-42. This Mint State 1750 2 Ducat piece from the Netherlands has subdued mint luster remaining within protected areas. The coin is well struck with full details on the centers of both sides as well as the knights hand, his head, the ground on which he stands, and the reverse legend. The surfaces are extremely clean for the grade with virtually no abrasion marks visible without magnification. The coin is slightly off-center, which accounts for the dentils being incomplete but otherwise strong.
 
The obverse depicts a standing knight holding a bunch of arrows. His legs divide the date with 17 on the lower left field and 50 on the lower right. His sword is at rest upward at his shoulder. He stands in three-quarters position with his head facing right in profile. His visor is open. The legend is CONCORDIA.RES.PAR.CRES.HOL.  The reverse shows a legend within an ornamented square which says MO: ORD/ PROVIN/ FOEDER/ BELGAD/ LEG.IMP. 
 
The Republic of the United Provinces, also known as the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, was a republic in Europe from 1581 to 1795. In 1648 it was recognized as a republic in the Peace of Westphalia and lasted until French revolutionary forces invaded in 1795. In the 1700s the Dutch aided the Americans during the American Revolution. When the British were defeated, the Dutch were drawn into a war with them. In 1795 Holland was occupied by French troops with the support of Dutch revolutionaries to form the Batavian Republic forcing William V to flee to England. The Batavian Republic succeeded the Republic of the United Netherlands. It was proclaimed on January 19, 1795 and ended on June 5, 1806, when Louis Bonaparte became the King of Holland.
