| Reverse description | A standing female figure representing the Maid of Holland (Hollandse Maagd) is depicted in three-quarter length, draped in classical robes. She leans with her left arm on a Bible resting atop a column, symbolizing religious foundation and civic virtue. In her right hand she holds an upright spear surmounted by a Phrygian liberty cap, emblematic of freedom. The composition is enclosed within a circular Latin legend in the surrounding field. The overall style reflects the refined engraving tradition of Dutch provincial mint production. |

| Additional information |
Holland's gold gulden issues of the late seventeenth century were minted against a backdrop of sustained commercial expansion — the province was functionally financing Dutch maritime dominance in Asia and the Atlantic simultaneously. The 1681 date falls squarely within the period when the Dutch East India Company was shipping enormous quantities of specie eastward, creating chronic domestic coin shortages that kept provincial mints running at capacity.
The Delmonte G#801 designation places this among the documented varieties tracked by that reference for Dutch gold, where die marriages for Holland's gulden coinage of this decade are relatively well-catalogued but individual survivors in collectible condition remain scarce.
