| Additional information |
The stoter emerged as a fractional denomination intended to ease small-scale commercial transactions in the Low Countries during a period of acute monetary fragmentation. Holland's coinage in the 1560s was produced against an increasingly volatile political background — Philip II's fiscal and religious policies were already generating the tensions that would erupt into the Dutch Revolt by 1568, making this a very short-lived issue type by necessity rather than design choice.
The Vanhoudt 274DO reference places this among the Dordrecht output, though die varieties documented under vdCh 6#33.47-50 suggest production across multiple sessions.
