About This Item

VGC 2006 Saffier

Shiny Gold - 42 mm round.

The obverse is done in shades of blue glitter with the name Saffier in gold.
The reverse is a combination of three issues from Dutch history:
The flag is the "Geuzenvlag" (flag of the Water Beggars who liberated Brielle from the Spanish).
The VGC design refers to the VOC, the East Indies Company,
and in the ring the latin title of a manuscript from Hugo de Groot (Grotius).
It was a justification of the capturing of a Portuguese treasure ship by the VOC in the 17th century. "De Iure pradae" means something like "Entitled to the treasure".
