Aanvullende informatie

William IV's reign saw the Dutch colonial monetary system under persistent strain, with the guilder coinage of the Netherlands Antilles serving territories whose trade flows made consistent specie supplies genuinely difficult to maintain. The quarter guilder was struck in small quantities relative to the larger denominations, and pieces that did circulate in the Caribbean colonies wore quickly given the conditions of commercial exchange there.

KM#23 is catalogued with a proof striking referenced as Pr#25, suggesting official presentation pieces were produced alongside the circulation issue — not unusual for Dutch colonial coinages of this period.
