| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Seven United Provinces, supported on either side by rampant lions as shield-bearers, the entire group set within an elaborate cartouche. In the lower exergual area, a smaller escutcheon displays the arms of the city of Enkhuizen — three herrings — identifying the mint responsible for the striking. The date 1673 appears at the close of the encircling Latin legend, which itself is punctuated by rosette stops. The engraving is precise and deeply struck, consistent with the double-thickness piedfort format. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The piedfort tradition in the Low Countries served a precise function: these double-weight strikes were produced as presentation pieces and deposit copies, allowing mint authorities and assayers to verify die integrity and standard weight against a permanent record. The 1673 date places this piece in the first year of the Rampjaar's aftermath — the French invasion had thrown Dutch coinage production into administrative chaos, and the West Friesland mint at Enkhuizen was operating under considerable pressure to demonstrate reliability.
Dirck Bosch held the lease on the Enkhuizen mint during this period. His name appearing on the piece is the mintmaster attribution, not a commemorative one.
