| Additional information |
Deventer exercised its right to strike silver coinage under imperial authorization, and the Arendsrijksdaalder — named for the imperial eagle on its reverse — was among the heavier trade pieces circulating through the Hanseatic network during the Thirty Years' War. The 1622 date places this coin squarely in the opening phase of that conflict, when the Dutch Republic was simultaneously fighting Spain and managing a flood of varied silver from independent city mints across the region.
KM#11 for Deventer is not a common attribution, and surviving examples tend to show the kind of uneven planchet preparation typical of municipal minting operations working without the die infrastructure of major provincial mints.
