| Additional information |
Holland's gold rider was authorized under the 1606 monetary ordinance of the States General, which sought to standardize coinage across the fractious Dutch provinces during the height of the Eighty Years' War. The coin was explicitly designed to compete with the reidgulden and similar German trade pieces circulating through Amsterdam's rapidly expanding financial markets.
Holland consistently struck more of these than any other province, and the issue spans a period covering the founding of the VOC, the Twelve Years' Truce, and the resumption of open conflict with Spain after 1621.
