| Beschrijving keerzijde | Five-line Latin inscription enclosed within an ornate rectangular tablet, the frame surrounded by elaborate Baroque foliate and scroll ornaments with floral finials at the top and bottom. The abbreviated legend, reading MO ORD PROVIN FOEDER BELG AD LEG IMP, translates as 'Money of the Ordinate Provinces of the Federated Belgians according to Imperial Law,' affirming the coin's legal standing under the Holy Roman Empire. The overall composition is characteristic of the standard Dutch ducat type struck by the provincial mints of the United Provinces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The VOC's practice of countermarking Dutch Republic ducats for circulation in the East Indies was a pragmatic response to chronic coin shortages in the archipelago — Batavia could not reliably supply enough specie to keep trade moving. Zeeland-struck ducats were among the most heavily countermarked, reflecting that province's outsized role in VOC shipping during the mid-eighteenth century.
The specific date range here corresponds to a period of intensifying Anglo-Dutch commercial rivalry in Asia, when the Company was simultaneously fighting liquidity problems at home and maintaining expensive garrison costs across its Indonesian holdings.
