| Beschrijving voorzijde | A fully armoured knight stands facing right, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a shield bearing the crowned lion of Utrecht on his left arm. The figure is rendered in the bold, deeply engraved style characteristic of Dutch Republic hammered coinage. The legend encircles the central device within a beaded or rope border. As a piedfort struck at double the standard weight, the relief is notably deep and the flan unusually thick. |

The leeuwendaalder was never legal tender within the Dutch Republic itself — it was designed from the outset as a trade coin for export, calibrated to circulate in the Levant and Baltic markets where Dutch merchants dominated. Utrecht's piedfort strikes were not trade instruments but presentation pieces, likely produced for gifts to foreign dignitaries or civic officials. At roughly double the standard flan weight, they could not pass in commerce even if someone tried.
The 1642 date places this during the final years of the Eighty Years' War, with the Peace of Münster still six years away.
