A Netherland 1721 Gold Ducaton graded NGC PF 63 Cameo has a starting bid of €150,000 (about $164,000 USD). The obverse of this impressive gold coin depicts a finely detailed armored soldier on horseback, and the reverse is adorned with the crowned arms of the United Netherlands held by two lions. At the time this "gold rider" was minted, the Netherlands was a global superpower, though it was past the height of its influence.
