The 1986 gold trade ducat from the Netherlands represents a classic design tradition revived in stunning proof quality. Struck by the Royal Dutch Mint, this coin contains 0.1106 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.983. Known popularly as the Knight ducat, it showcases the detailed artistry and historical continuity of Dutch coinage. The obverse of the coin features an armored knight standing and facing to the right, holding a sword in one hand and a bundle of arrows in the other. This powerful image has long been a signature of Dutch trade coins, symbolizing strength and unity. On the reverse, a decorative ornamental frame encloses a traditional Latin inscription. The legible text reads MO.AUR. REG. BELGII AD LEGEM IMPERII, which translates to the money of the kingdom of the Netherlands according to the law of the empire.
