The Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar is a modern reimagining of the historic Dutch Lion Dollar. The Dutch Lion Dollar was a popular silver dollar issued by the various provinces of Holland with similar, though distinct, depictions of the Dutch Lion. Predominantly used in the past for international trade, since 2017 the Royal Dutch Mint has offered the classic designs on modern 1 oz silver blanks. Today, 2021 1 oz Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollars in perfect condition are available to you online at JM Bullion.

The first Dutch Lion Dollars were issued in 1575, less than a decade after the 1567 founding of the Utrecht Mint that would go on to become the sovereign Royal Dutch Mint in the future. Each of the Dutch provinces of the 16th century issued their own Dutch Lion Dollars, and each province had its own twist on the image of the Dutch Lion.

All of these 2021 1 oz Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollars are perfect specimens available in a protective plastic slab. Coins with a PF70 certification have full, original mint luster and bear no detracting flaws. The additional ultra-cameo designation indicates a proof coin with strong, frosted design elements and deeply-mirrored, clear fields. The Early Release label means these specimens were received for grading within 30 days of release from the mint.

On the obverse of 2021 Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollars is an image of the Dutch Lion from the province of Overijssel. This is the fifth different design to feature in the series and it last appeared in circulation in 1701. In fact, those final specimens from 1701 were low in number and rare to find in good condition today.

The reverse side of the 2021 1 oz Proof Silver Lion Dollar features the common design of the series. Here, a Dutch knight is depicted in the top-half of the design field with its right hand extended and its left resting at its side. The knight looks back over his left shoulder and the shield of the coat of arms for the Netherlands features beneath him.
