| Additional information |
By 1573, Holland was deep into the Eighty Years' War, and minting activity in the county was severely disrupted by the Spanish siege of Haarlem and ongoing military pressure across the province. Coins continued to be struck at Dordrecht, but production was inconsistent and supply chains for silver blanks were unreliable. The result is a type that appears in the reference literature more often than it surfaces in the trade.
The "without jewel" distinction separating this variety from its close relatives is a subtle but catalogued die difference, documented across the Gelder-Hoc and van der Chijs classifications under separate numbers — confirming it as a recognized emission rather than a mere strike variant.
