| Additional information |
Zwolle's civic coinage authority was repeatedly contested by the States General throughout the early seventeenth century, which resented municipal mints undercutting provincial monetary uniformity. The city nonetheless continued striking its own leeuwendaalder fractions into the 1640s, exploiting a legal ambiguity that allowed chartered cities to mint under older privileges. The halve leeuwendaalder circulated heavily in Baltic and Levantine trade, where Dutch fractional silver was accepted by weight rather than face value.
The date-in-field placement on Zwolle's half daalder distinguishes it from the more common provincial issues of Overijssel struck contemporaneously under KM#34.
