| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the crowned and helmeted provincial arms of Friesland are displayed centrally, featuring a rampant lion on a horizontally striped shield with elaborate mantling and crest. The date appears at the conclusion of the surrounding Latin legend, which runs clockwise within the outer field. The overall style is characteristic of late Dutch Renaissance hammered gold coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan typical of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Friesland's decision to strike gold gulden in the second decade of the seventeenth century placed the province in direct competition with the Holland issues that dominated Dutch trade finance. The provincial States of Friesland jealously guarded their minting rights throughout the Republic's existence, and this issue reflects the decentralized monetary reality of the early Dutch federation — each province legally entitled to produce coin, often to the quiet frustration of Amsterdam merchants who preferred standardization.
The three-year production window coincides with intensifying debate within the States-General over unified coinage policy, a dispute that would never be fully resolved before the Republic's end.
