| Reverse description | A standing draped female figure, personifying the Province of Gelderland, occupies the central field in three-quarter view. She holds a lance or spear upright in her left hand and rests her right hand upon a shield or heraldic device mounted on an ornate pedestal decorated with foliage. The figure is rendered in a classical Baroque style with flowing robes. The date 1763 appears in the exergue below, and a circular Latin legend reading HAC NITIMVR HANC TVEMVR surrounds the composition within a beaded outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Gelderland was among the most fractious of the Dutch provincial states, and its independent coinage rights — exercised long after the Union of Utrecht theoretically standardized currency across the Netherlands — reflect that stubbornness. The gulden series running across the full century of this type was repeatedly contested by the States-General in The Hague, who objected to provincial silver coinage undercutting unified monetary policy. Gelderland minted anyway.
The hundred-year span of this type produced significant die variation, catalogued across five CNM sub-varieties.
