Product overview

The "Scheepjesschelling," or Ship Shilling, appeared in the early 1700s as a symbol of the Dutch Republic's naval and commercial power, especially in Eastern trade routes, where its high silver content gained merchant confidence.

Struck in 1706 for Gelderland, this coin highlights provincial pride during the Golden Age's maritime achievements. Its modern reissue continues the story, appealing to collectors of European trade currency.

Minted from 2 troy ounces (62.2 g) of 99.9% fine silver at 38.7 mm diameter, the proof-quality coin delivers sharp relief and mirror-like brilliance.

The obverse features a detailed warship surrounded by the inscription "VIGILATE DEO CONFIDENTES" (Watch, trusting in God), while the reverse displays Gelderland's heraldic shield with the inscription "MO ARG ORD DVC GELETCZ" (New silver coin of the Order of the Duchy of Gelderland and County of Zutphen).

Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and elegant presentation packaging, this smooth-edged piece is suitable for sophisticated portfolios of historical restrikes.

Condition terms explained

We use a simple, consistent set of terms on each product page so you know exactly what to expect when your order arrives. These descriptions focus on honest visual inspection rather than formal grading.
Coin terms
  • Mint - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, with no visible marks to the naked eye under standard lighting. It is supplied in its original capsule or protective packaging, as applicable.
  • Mint (Minor milk spots) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but there are small, cloudy white spots on the surface, likely from the minting or planchetting process, a common feature of modern bullion and proof issues. These spots are cosmetic only and do not affect the coin’s metal content, purity, or authenticity.
  • Mint (Light toning) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but shows light natural colour changes on the surface, such as pale gold, blue, or rainbow hues from normal ageing and storage. Many collectors view this gentle toning as part of the coin’s character rather than a defect, and it does not affect purity or authenticity.
Presentation case and outer box terms
  • Excellent - The presentation case, or outer box, is in immaculate condition, with only minimal signs of handling or storage, and is suitable for gifting or display.
  • Light scuffs - There are light, surface-level rub marks or slight colour wear from normal handling or sliding against other surfaces. The material is not deeply scratched or broken, and the case or box structure is unaffected.
  • Corner dings - One or more corners show small but clear indentations where the case or box has been knocked. The corner is slightly flattened or recessed, but the item remains fully functional and protective.
  • Minor creases - There are visible fold lines in the cardboard or paperboard where it has been bent, often appearing as a straight line on a lid or edge. These creases are cosmetic only and do not affect the box's ability to open, close, or protect the coin.
  • Age-related discolouration/foxing - The surface shows patchy, often whitish, yellowish, or grey areas that develop over time due to age, humidity, or breakdown of the covering material. This is common on older or velour-style cases and shippers and is cosmetic only; it does not affect the coin inside.
