| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned coat of arms of the Seven United Provinces, supported by two rampant lions, occupies the central field. Below the main shield, a cartouche bears the arms of Enkhuizen — three herrings displayed — identifying the mint city. The date 1673 appears at the conclusion of the encircling Latin legend, which is rendered in the humanist lettering typical of Dutch provincial coinage of this period. |

West Friesland struck this heavy gold ducaton in 1673 — the very year French forces under Louis XIV occupied much of the Dutch Republic during the Rampjaar, or "Disaster Year." Provincial minting continued defiantly even as Utrecht, Gelderland, and Overijssel fell. The piece is catalogued as a pattern (KM#Pn2), suggesting it never entered regular production, likely because the military emergency consumed both the political bandwidth and the bullion needed to sustain a new denomination.
At over 45 grams, no circulating precedent existed for a coin of this weight in the Dutch provincial system.
