Gold of the Republic

On Wednesday evening, 10 December, George Sanders gave a lecture entitled ‘Gold of the Republic’ in ’s-Hertogenbosch for the North Brabant Numismatic Society. It was a pleasure to be able to talk about his PhD research to a well-attended audience. Thanks to the dress rehearsal in Berlin last month, everything went like clockwork.

It was also nice to be able to say a few words about Stichting KROON. There is a connection between the study of orders of chivalry and honours and numismatics. This is particularly true of the period of the Republic of the United Netherlands.
