| Additional information |
Utrecht's ducats of this period circulated far beyond the Dutch Republic's borders — the coin's near-pure gold content made it an accepted trading medium across Central Europe, the Baltic, and into the Levant, where it competed directly with Venetian ducats on weight and fineness. The "middle type" designation distinguishes it from Utrecht's earlier and later provincial issues, with the specific die characteristics catalogued across Delmonte's G#963 and 965 suggesting production spanned at least two distinct reverse die phases.
The years covered fall almost entirely within the aftermath of the Franco-Dutch War, during which Utrecht's economy recovered slowly and provincial mint output fluctuated sharply.
