The ‘Scheepjesschelling’ is a Dutch shilling that was minted to emphasize the status of the Dutch Republic. This shilling was especially popular with the trading in the East. Therefore it was given the name ‘Scheepjesschelling’. At the Royal Dutch Mint, we restrike this trade coin not only in gold, but also in silver. The ‘Scheepjesschelling’ Silver 2 Ounce will be delivered as always in a luxurious packaging, including a Certificate of Authenticity.
