| Aversbeschreibung | A fully armored knight on horseback charges to the right, the horse depicted in full gallop. Below the horse, a crowned provincial shield bearing the arms of West Friesland is displayed in the lower field. The peripheral Latin legend encircles the design, identifying the coin as new silver money of the United Belgian Provinces for the province of West Friesland. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The ducaton known as the "Silver Rider" was among the most widely circulated Dutch coins in the Atlantic world during the eighteenth century — not primarily within the Dutch Republic itself, but across its colonial trade networks and, critically, in British North America. Colonial merchants and assemblies trusted the coin's consistently high silver fineness at a time when Spanish milled dollars and other foreign species were all competing for acceptance. Several American colonies officially rated it in their currency proclamations.
West Friesland was one of multiple provincial mints authorized to strike the type, each producing coins that are technically identical in specification but distinguishable by mint mark to specialists.
