Restrike Lion Dollar Silver: frequently asked questions
-
The Lion Dollar (Leeuwendaalder) was one of the most important international trade coins of the 16th and 17th centuries, struck in the Dutch Republic from 1575 and circulating across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. The Royal Dutch Mint has issued official silver restrike versions since 2017, recreating the coin in 1 troy oz of fine silver. Each annual release features a different historic Dutch province's heraldic lion on the obverse, making it a rotating series rather than a single fixed design.
-
The restrike Lion Dollar's base value tracks the silver spot price, currently $65.58 per troy ounce. Because these are limited-mintage collector restrikes (typically 1,000 to 15,000 pieces per year), they carry a significant premium above spot. We track 1 Lion Dollar listing across 1 dealer; use the table to compare current offers.

Proof versions of the restrike contain 1 troy oz (31.1 g) of .9999 fine silver; Brilliant Uncirculated versions use .999 fine silver at the same weight. The coin measures 37 mm in diameter with a reeded edge. A piedfort (double-thickness) 2 oz version in .9999 silver is also available, based on the original Gelderland Lion Dollar design.

The Lion Dollar restrike carries no face value and is not legal tender in any current jurisdiction, so CGT exemptions based on legal-tender status do not apply. In the UK, gains are taxed at 18% or 24% depending on your income band, with an annual exemption of £3,000. In the US, precious metals gains are treated as collectibles, taxed up to 28%. In Canada, 50% of the gain is included in taxable income.
