| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, an armored knight stands facing left with head turned to the right, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a ribbon or sword in his raised right hand; a shield bearing a rampant lion to the left is positioned behind him. The Latin legend circumscribes the design between the beaded inner circle and the square klippe edge, identifying the coin as silver coinage of the Confederate Belgian Provinces of West Friesland. The die work is characteristic of Dutch Republic hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The leeuwendaalder and its half were workhorses of the Dutch carrying trade, struck deliberately underweight against domestic coinage so they would circulate abroad rather than be hoarded at home. West Friesland was one of several provincial mints authorized to strike them, and the series ran with only loose oversight — weight and fineness varied enough between issues to frustrate foreign merchants who accepted them by tale rather than assay.
The klippe format — a square or rhomboid planchet cut from a rolled strip — was not ceremonial here. It signals either a presentation striking or a period when round planchets were unavailable at the die, a not uncommon production gap in smaller provincial operations.
