Lion Dollar 2024 Gold 

The Lion Dollar also had a big impact on the US Dollar, the biggest currency in the world. Dutch colonists brought the Lion Dollar to New Amsterdam (later New York) and used it extensively. The word ‘Daalder’ translates to ‘dollar’, which makes this Dutch coin of huge importance to the American Dollar of today.
 
The Lion Dollar was minted in the Netherlands from 1575 and issued by six out of seven Dutch provinces and several big cities. One of these cities is Deventer, located in the East of the Netherlands. The Lion Dollar 2024 Gold 1 Ounce is a restrike of the original Deventer coin, which has a very nice surprise in store!

Design

Since Deventer is a city and not a province, the coat of arms of Holland is replaced by a city-eagle, the well-known figurehead of Deventer. There is also a different text than normal on the reverse of the coin: ‘ME VIGILANTE FLORET DAVENT’, this directly translates to: “Because I watch, Deventer blooms”. The text makes this Golden Lion Dollar extra special.
