Description:
TRADE COINAGE
GOLDEN DUCAT AND SCHEEPJESSCHELLING
The word ducat is from Medieval Latin ducatus = "relating to a Duke (or dukedom)", and initially meant "duke's coin" or a "duchy's coin". The first issue of this type of coin is thought to have been under King Roger II of Sicily, who was also the Duke of Apulia
The Dutch Revolt gave its seven northern provinces control of their coinage. The collapse of the government of Francis of Anjou in 1583, however, left them without a constitutional ruler to name on those coins. They fell back on the long-standing regional tradition of imitating well accepted foreign coins. In this case, they avoided political complications by copying obsolete coins. The gold coins Ferdinand and Isabella issued to the standards of the ducat were widely copied and called ducats. They also imitated the Hungarian ducat and those coins had more influence on the subsequent coinage of the United Provinces. Since the Netherlands became a dominant international trader, the influence of these ducats was global.
