The Vanhoudt does not reference it, but only mentions the single ducaton, making this coin struck for an exceptional strike that was not destined to be put into circulation. There are also coins weighing around 90g, 3 times heavier than the circulating ducaton. Extremely rare specimen, almost never seen in auctions for this year.
