| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the crowned coat of arms of Zeeland at center, featuring a rampant lion over a barry wavy field, set within an elaborate cartouche of acanthus scrollwork and flanked by foliate sprays. A large royal crown surmounts the shield. The date 1776 is placed prominently in the upper field above the crown. The circular Latin motto legend is distributed around the periphery, with the word CONCORDIA to the right and the remainder of the inscription continuing around the lower and left portions of the coin. |

Zeeland's decision to strike a coin denominated as a quarter-ducat but physically weighing two-and-a-half ducats is not bureaucratic confusion — it reflects the Dutch Republic's deeply fragmented monetary system, in which provincial mints operated under the Union of Utrecht's general framework but retained enough autonomy to produce multiples and denominations that answered local commercial demand rather than any central logic. Zeeland's mint at Middelburg was among the smaller provincial operations, and issues like this one were produced in limited quantities across the fourteen-year span of the type.
The Delmonte and Verkade references both treat this as a distinct variety from the standard quarter-ducat, precisely because the weight differential is too significant to attribute to planchet variation.
