| Beschrijving voorzijde | A fully armored knight, the so-called 'Zilveren Rijder', mounted on a rearing horse facing right and brandishing an upraised sword in his right hand. Above the horse, the crowned arms of Gelderland divide the encircling Latin legend. A privy mark (tree) appears at the commencement of the legend in the upper field. The composition is executed in high relief characteristic of Dutch provincial milled coinage of the mid-18th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gelderland was among the more financially aggressive of the seven provinces, frequently overstriking foreign coin and minting beyond its federally allotted quota — a source of persistent friction with the States-General throughout the mid-eighteenth century. The ½ Ducaton series, sometimes called the Zilveren Rijder after its mounted knight device, circulated widely in both domestic trade and the Baltic export market, where Dutch silver enjoyed a strong reputation for consistent fineness.
The flowered edge variety distinguished authorized provincial strikes from contemporary counterfeits and unofficial restrike issues, which plagued the Rijder denominations specifically.
