The two oldest companies in the Netherlands still in business, have joined forces

The Royal Dutch Mint and Royal Tichelaar, the two oldest companies in the Netherlands still in busines, have joined forces. At the World Money Fair in Berlin, the 'Official Restrike : Dukaton – Royal Tichelaar edition' was unveiled by Mr. Remco Zeeuw (head of economic department of the Dutch Embassy in Berlin) and Mr. Arjan Smit (Chairman Tulip Promotion Netherlands). The Royal Tichelaar edition combines the strength and craftsmanship of the two companies: the restrike of the Dukaton, a coin that originated in the 16th century, is situated in a tile of ceramics on which Royal Tichelaar has hand-painted tulips.

Hand-painted
Royal Tichelaar is a global concept in the field of ceramics and glazes. Each restrike will be placed in a tile which is hand-painted by the painters of Royal Tichelaar. Each issue has its own décor. How the tiles are made can be seen here: production The tiles are not only hand-painted, but also uniquely numbered. All issues are also provided with a Certificate of Authenticity. The issues are very strictly limited and from now on you can order them on: www.knm.nl/tichelaar.  The maximum editions are as follows: Silver 200 pieces; Platinum 100 pieces; Gold 20 pieces.
