1 Gulden Pattern

West Friesland operated its own mint at Enkhuizen and later Hoorn under the broader Dutch provincial system, but pattern issues of this kind were almost never struck for circulation — they were produced to demonstrate die quality or propose a new type to the provincial estates for approval. A gold pattern at this weight in 1682 suggests a proposal tied to the ongoing Dutch efforts to regularize provincial coinage, particularly as the States-General repeatedly attempted to bring the fractious provincial mints into closer conformity during the latter decades of the seventeenth century.

Delmonte's attribution remains the authoritative reference for Dutch gold of this period. Survivors are essentially unknown in commerce.
