| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays an ornately shaped heraldic shield surmounted by a crown, bearing the city arms of Zwolle with Saint Michael in the act of slaying a dragon. The shield is rendered in an elaborate Baroque cartouche style with pronounced decorative mantling. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading DEVS REFVGIVM NOSTRVM. The legends and devices are weakly defined in areas, consistent with the irregular striking characteristic of hammered copper coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zwolle held the right to strike its own copper coinage as a member of the Hanseatic League and later as one of the Overijssel cities within the Dutch Republic — a municipal minting privilege that survived well into the seventeenth century despite repeated pressure from the States-General to consolidate coinage authority. The duit was the workhorse of small retail commerce, used daily for bread, beer, and ferry tolls.
1618 sits at the edge of a turbulent decade: the Twelve Years' Truce with Spain expired in 1621, and municipal finances across the Dutch Republic were already being strained by preparations for renewed war.
