Beschrijving keerzijde A displayed eagle occupies the central field, incorporating or surmounted by the heraldic arms of the city of Dokkum, serving as the principal emblem of municipal authority. The eagle is rendered in a stylised Gothic manner characteristic of Frisian civic coinage of the first half of the fifteenth century. The surrounding peripheral legend reads BENEDICT QVI VENIT in Latin, a devotional phrase referencing the Biblical acclamation. The strike is irregular and the flan shows typical edge weakness associated with hammered production.

Aanvullende informatie

The kromstaart — named for the curved tail on the lion design — was a regional Low Countries type struck by a number of Frisian and Groningen municipalities in the early fifteenth century with little central oversight. Dokkum's issues from this period are particularly difficult to attribute with precision, as the city lacked a permanent mint establishment and likely contracted striking to itinerant moneyers working across multiple Frisian towns.

Surviving half-kromstaarts from Dokkum are rare in any condition, with most known examples showing heavy wear consistent with prolonged local circulation before the type was superseded by Burgundian monetary reforms pressing into the northern provinces.
