| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length standing figure of Minerva, helmeted and draped in classical robes, faces three-quarters left. She rests her right arm upon a decorated column supporting a Bible, symbolizing divine authority, while her left hand raises a spear surmounted by a liberty cap. The figure stands on a raised platform, rendered in fine high-relief engraving characteristic of Dutch provincial pattern coinage. The circular Latin legend is positioned around the periphery within a milled border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
West Friesland was one of the more assertive provincial mints within the Dutch Republic, frequently producing pattern pieces that tested alternative weight standards against those mandated by the States-General. This 1759 quarter gulden pattern — struck at 1.5 ducat weight rather than the conventional gulden fraction standard — almost certainly reflects an internal debate about rationalizing gold coinage denominations during a period when ducat-weight multiples were proving more practical for trade with the Baltic and Levant markets.
The Delmonte attribution confirms its pattern status. Very few examples are known to have been struck for circulation purposes.
