| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored knight on horseback galloping to right, brandishing an upraised sword; beneath the horse, the uncrowned provincial arms of West Friesland appear in the field. The entire design is contained within a beaded or linear inner circle. The legend runs along the outer periphery in Latin capital letters, identifying this as new silver coinage of the confederated Belgian provinces of West Friesland. The style is characteristic of Dutch provincial hammered silver coinage of the mid-seventeenth century, with bold relief and vigorous equestrian imagery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Silver Rider" ducaton was struck by the provincial mint at Enkhuizen for the States of West Friesland, one of several Dutch provinces that jealously guarded their minting rights throughout the Republic's existence. Piedforts of this type were not circulation strikes — they served as presentation pieces, submitted as trial strikings to the provincial authorities for approval, or gifted to officials as a form of institutional currency. At one-and-a-half times standard weight, the dies would have been working against considerably greater resistance, which is why so few piedforts of any Dutch provincial issue survive without adjustment marks or edge weakness.
The date-range span here reflects ongoing production across multiple die marriages rather than a single emission.
