| Additional information |
Christian Eberhard ruled East Frisia from 1665 until his death in 1708, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Estates over fiscal authority — the same tension that plagued nearly every minor German principality in the late seventeenth century. The gulden coinage of this period served the practical demands of a territory caught between Dutch commercial influence to the west and the broader circulation networks of the Holy Roman Empire.
KM#82 is not a common type; East Frisian silver of this decade survives in limited numbers, partly because the principality's minting output was never large and partly because much of it circulated heavily in regional trade.
