The 2019 Netherlands Lion Dollar Gold Foil Map is a stunning tribute to one of the most significant coins in early American history—the Dutch Lion Dollar, also known as the Leeuwendaalder. Widely regarded by many experts as America’s first silver dollar, this coin played a crucial role in Colonial trade and commerce. While some may debate whether it was the very first silver dollar to circulate in the New World, there is no denying its importance. In fact, it holds the distinction of being listed as the fourth coin in the prestigious United States Red Book. Originally minted from 1575 to 1713, few of these historic coins remain in existence today, making them a rare and coveted part of numismatic history.
