| 背面描述 | The crowned arms of the Generality of the Dutch Republic, rendered in high relief, are displayed centrally and divide the date across the field, all within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend, interspersed with the Middelburg mint mark (castle), encircles the composition within a beaded outer circle. The heraldic shield is surmounted by an ornate crown and flanked by decorative flourishes consistent with seventeenth-century Dutch engraving conventions. The overall design conveys the authority of the Union of Utrecht and the collective sovereignty of the United Provinces. |

Piedforts were never intended for trade. The Province of Zeeland struck these double-weight presentation pieces as gifts for diplomats, civic officials, and foreign dignitaries — proof of technical competence as much as political courtesy. The Dutch Republic used such objects deliberately during a period when its provincial mints competed fiercely for prestige and contract work.
Zeeland's mint at Middelburg had a particularly assertive record of striking unauthorized or overweight issues throughout the seventeenth century, drawing repeated censure from the Generaliteit. That the piedfort run extended nearly fifty years across this reference span suggests production was neither continuous nor systematic.
