| Additional information |
Piedfort klippe strikes of this type were never produced for circulation. The triple-weight format was a deliberate demonstration piece — almost certainly struck as a gift or presentation to a dignitary, diplomat, or provincial official. The Dutch Republic's provinces occasionally authorized such pieces to project institutional prestige during the Twelve Years' Truce, which ended in 1621 and returned the Republic to active war with Spain.
Zeeland's mint at Middelburg had particular incentive to showcase its technical capability during this window of relative peace. A surviving triple-weight piedfort in klippe form is among the rarest formats any provincial Dutch mint produced.
