| Lot description: Netherlands Wilhelmina gold Proof Ducat 1906 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, Utrecht mint, cf. KM83.1a (Proof unlisted), Fr-352, cf. Schulman-761 (Proof unlisted). A stunning little Ducat of the upmost rarity. Our example hails from the second-lowest mintage date recorded for the type at 29,379 pieces, just 95 more pieces produced than the 1901 key date. However, there is no Proof listing across the major catalogs for this 1906 emission, and this cataloger was able to locate only one other example at public auction in recent memory. Absolute scarcity aside, this offering is irrefutably attractive, throwing bolts of luster around the flan during in-hand inspection with very few wisps of note despite the Proof finish. The iconic Dutch knight retains incredible clarity, every line on his cuisses and helmet revealing themselves in full articulation. One of several excellent Dutch rarities in this sale, sure to excite more advanced collectors.
