| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a dotted inner circle, an armored knight on a prancing horse facing right, brandishing a drawn sword with his right hand; below the horse, a crowned lion shield appears in the field. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the design, terminating with the mint mark. The strike is characteristic of the Dutch hammered gold coinage of the early seventeenth century, with bold relief and slightly irregular flan edges. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a dotted inner circle, the crowned arms of the Generality of the Dutch Republic are displayed on a shield, with the date prominently placed above the crown in the field. The surrounding Latin motto legend runs continuously around the inner circle. The heraldic shield features the rampant lion of the Dutch Republic rendered in the bold, somewhat stylized manner typical of hammered Dutch gold coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Utrecht's provincial coinage operated in deliberate competition with Holland's issues during the early decades of the Dutch Republic, with each province jealously guarding its minting rights under the Union of Utrecht. The half rider denomination sat awkwardly in actual commerce — too valuable for daily transactions, too light for major trade — and most surviving examples show minimal wear, consistent with hoarding rather than prolonged circulation.
The forty-year production window masks significant die variation across the series; Delmonte's numbering separates the type by subtle differences in the rider's posture and shield treatment that are invisible without direct comparison.
