The First Trade Dollar of the Netherlands East Indies
United Amsterdam Company Daalder of 8 Reales 1601 Dordrecht mint, Mintmaster Jacob Janszn. de Jonge, Dav-413, Salveson-11, Delm-1206 (R2), Scholten-1 (RR). Of great rarity, this crown represents the earliest trade dollar of the Netherlands in its first decade of overseas expansion into the East Indies, a charming design described literally by the legends: "The Arms of Holland and the City of Amsterdam." Only a year after the production of this type was authorized, the trade companies of Holland and Zeeland were consolidated into the United East India Company.
