| Aversbeschreibung | A fully armored knight on horseback occupies the central field, the horse rearing to the right with elaborately caparisoned trappings. The knight wears a plumed helmet and brandishes a sword aloft in his right hand. Beneath the horse, the crowned shield of Zeeland — displaying three horizontal wavy bars — serves as a heraldic device. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The composition reflects the refined Dutch baroque engraving style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Zeeland coinage. |

A piedfort — double the standard planchet thickness — was never intended for commerce. These were presentation pieces, struck for dignitaries, foreign envoys, and the provincial States themselves as ceremonial proof of the die. Zeeland, perpetually asserting its autonomy within the Dutch Republic, had particular reason to commission them: the province controlled the critical Scheldt estuary tolls and used high-status numismatic gifts as diplomatic currency with the same calculation it applied to actual trade policy.
The Delmonte S#1024a classification places this among the rarer documented piedfort strikings of the provincial ducaton series. Surviving examples almost never show circulation wear — the question is always die state and edge integrity.
