Drusus Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 It appears to be a Dutch coin commemorating admiral de ruyter...I would need my catalog to give you more specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturzny Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 It's Danish, not Dutch, and it's a medal. De Ruyter was instrumental in keeping the Baltic Sea trade open during the period of Swedish aggression in the 17th century. He was knighted by the Danish king Frederick III.

marianne Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 The lettering on the reverse reads, "The Dutch Fair in Copenhagen 1922." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 If the date below the ship is 1666, it would commemorate Admiral de Ruyter and the Four Days Battle, 1666. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 If the date below the ship is 1666 Yes, that's what it says.
