| Beschrijving voorzijde | Shield bearing the rampant lion of West Friesland, rendered in high relief within a baroque-style escutcheon. The shield is surmounted by an ornate heraldic crown with floral finials, occupying the full field of the coin. No peripheral legend is present; the design fills the flan to the milled edge, emphasizing the arms in a bold and compact heraldic composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The gold duit is an anomaly in VOC coinage. The duit was a workhorse copper coin minted by the millions for trade in the Indonesian archipelago, where silver and gold circulated alongside it but the duit itself was emphatically a base-metal denomination. Gold strikings of it are presumed to be presentation or proof-of-concept pieces rather than anything that entered commerce — no credible circulation evidence exists for them.
West Friesland was one of the six VOC Chambers authorized to strike coinage, and each maintained its own dies and mint administration with minimal coordination between them. The 1729–1731 window for this piece corresponds to a period of intense Company activity in Java following the First Javanese War of Succession.
