| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned shield bearing the arms of the Seven United Provinces is displayed at center within an inner circle, with the date appearing at the top of the field flanking the crown. The shield is surmounted by a large royal crown with prominent fleurs-de-lis and arches, rendered in bold relief. The encircling Latin motto legend runs along the outer border, separated by pellet stops. The overall composition is characteristic of the Dutch provincial gold coinage of the early seventeenth century, with the date integrated into the design above the crowned arms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gelderland's Golden Rider series took its name from the mounted knight that had appeared on the province's coinage since the medieval period, and the half denomination was struck to facilitate smaller high-value transactions during the Dutch Revolt's later phase — a period when Spanish embargoes and military disruption made reliable gold coinage politically as well as commercially important. The Dutch provinces issued gold partly to assert fiscal independence from Habsburg monetary policy.
The 1606 start date coincides closely with the Twelve Years' Truce negotiations, signed in 1609, which temporarily stabilized the region's economy and likely drove demand for quality gold issues.
