| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rampant lion passant-rampant to the left occupies the central field, rendered with flowing mane and raised forepaws in the Dutch heraldic tradition, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The date 1688 is divided at the top of the field by a floral privy mark, with the numeral group split on either side. The circumferential Latin legend, reading CONFIDENS · DNO · NON · MOVETVR, encircles the device between the beaded inner border and the toothed outer rim. The irregular hammered flan is clearly visible at the coin's periphery, consistent with late seventeenth-century Utrecht minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The leeuwendaalder was never intended for domestic Dutch commerce. It was minted almost exclusively for export, feeding the enormous appetite for silver coinage in the Levant trade and the Baltic markets, where it circulated by weight alongside other European crowns. Utrecht struck prodigiously throughout the final decades of the seventeenth century precisely because demand from VOC and merchant networks consistently outpaced supply from Holland and Zeeland.
The knight-without-plume variety reflects a provincial die workshop decision, not a deliberate policy change — Utrecht's engravers periodically updated punch combinations, producing identifiable sub-varieties that Delmonte catalogued separately. The divided date placement on the reverse is the distinguishing diagnostic for this specific type within the KM#72 grouping.
