A PROVISIONAL
LIST
OF
DUTCH
LION-DOLLARS
The type of the Dutch lion-dollar was created once for all by the
die-engraverof the provincial mint of Holland in 1576:
Obv.: warriorclad in contemporaryarmor stands three quarters to
the left; his head covered by an open crested helmet is sharply
turned to the right; with his righthand he holds a large shield
with ornamentalborder,under which his feetappear; with his
lefthand he holds a slip of the light cloak that flowsfreelyfrom
his back; the shield displays the coat of arms of Holland, a
lion rampant; legend MO[neta] NO[va] ARG[entea] ORDIN[um]
HOL[landiae]
Rev.: A large heraldic lion rampant; legend CONFIDENS D[omi]NO
NON MOVETVR
Only the very oldest lion-dollars struck in 1575 and early in 1576
show some slight hesitancies before the definitivetype was established; the warrior of these early specimens wears armor of
"antique" design and lacks the characteristicturn of the head. AU
later issues of Holland as well as of other provinces and towns show
hardly any deviation fromthis prototype which was neither varied
nor modernized in the course of more than a century.
The imitations by other provincial mints started in 1585; these
took over the essential characteristics of the type, but usually replaced the elements peculiar to Holland by their own equivalents:
the coat of arms in the shield on the obverse, the motto and the
mint mark on the reverse. Later, the desire to produce as exact replicas as possible of the prototypebrought back many of the original
featuresto the lion dollars struck outside HoUand: the plain lion in
the shield, the CONFIDENS motto, and even the rose mint mark of
Dordrecht. By a clever device legends of the type MO[neta] NO[va]
ORD[inum] TRAI[ecti] AD VA[lorem] HOL[landie] produced an obverse legend beginning and ending with the same words as the
original.
This conformityto the Holland prototypewas more or less legalized in 1606 when the States-General accepted the lion-dollar as a

general coin forall the provinces. Its new status found expressionin
the new obverse legend- similar to that of other denominationsMO[neta] ARGjentea] PRO[vinciarum]CONFOE[deratarum] BELG[icarum], followed by the name of the province. For the reverse the
plain lion of Holland with the traditional motto was tolerated,
whereas all other coins bore the crowned and armored lion of the
United Provinces and the accompanying device "Concordia Res
Parvae Crescunt." Besides that the date was shiftedfromthe obverse
to the reversewhere it took the place of the rose mint mark.
The provinces adhered with hardly any exceptions to the new
pattern,but the towns maintained individual variations much longer.
Only after 1659, when they accepted a general supervision of the
central authoritiesover their coinage, did they resign themselves to
the same conformity;the municipal arms disappeared fromthe coins
as well as local mottoes forreverselegends, while the obverse legends
too were adapted to the general pattern suggesting coinage in the
name of the United Provinces.
Apart fromthe differencesin the heraldry and the legends mentioned before,the most notable exceptions to the uniformityof obverse design are:
a. in a few cases the lion in the shield on the obverse is
crowned, probably the effectof a confusion with the
crowned lion of the States-General;
b. one die-engraver,working both for the provincial mint
of Gelderland and the municipal mint of Kampen, reversed the position of the warrior;
c. in the second half of the 17th century the crest on the
warrior'shelmet was almost universally suppressed;
d. after 1606 all provincial issues show the lion rampant, as
prescribedin the ordinance of that year; the province of
Utrcht only continues to use its own arms, but these
being a lion rampant bearing a small saltire on his
shoulder could hardly be distinguishedfromthe general
pattern.
The large lion of the reverse sufferedstill fewerattacks:
a. Zeeland replaced the lion rampant duringa few years by
its own lion issuant;
