1 Gulden Gold, 3 ducat weight

West Friesland's States issued this heavy gold piece — at three ducat weight rather than the standard ducat — during a period when the Dutch Republic's provincial minting authorities were still asserting considerable independence from any unified coinage policy. The short two-year window of production, 1682–1683, likely reflects either a specific contractual obligation to a merchant or guild requiring large-denomination gold, or an experimental issue that simply found no sustained commercial demand.

The Delmonte reference places this firmly in the pattern coin literature, suggesting these were never intended for ordinary circulation.
