| Additional information |
This daalder takes its popular name from Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who arrived in the Netherlands in late 1585 as governor-general of the Dutch provinces following Elizabeth I's intervention under the Treaty of Nonsuch. Friesland struck this type during the turbulent opening phase of Leicester's administration, before his authority collapsed under persistent friction with the States-General and his own strategic failures. He departed in 1587, never to return.
The six-fold arms reflect the brief political alignment of that moment — a coalition asserting itself under foreign protection it would ultimately reject.
