| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned coat of arms of the Dutch Republic, displaying a rampant lion within a shield surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with fleurs-de-lis, occupies the central field, with the date 1651 divided to either side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, and the provincial motto legend runs continuously around the outer margin in capital Roman letters. The irregular flan and thick fabric are consistent with the quadruple-weight piedfort striking. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Piedforts of this weight — four times the standard Rijksdaalder flan — were never produced for circulation. The Mint of West Friesland struck these almost certainly as presentation pieces, likely for gift exchange among civic officials or foreign dignitaries, a practice deeply embedded in Dutch Republic diplomatic culture by the mid-seventeenth century. West Friesland was among the more independent-minded of the provincial mints, frequently producing off-metal and overweight specials that deviated from the Union of Utrecht's monetary conventions with apparent impunity.
The Delmonte S#940b attribution places this firmly within the specialist piedfort literature rather than general coinage catalogues — unsurprising given that surviving examples are counted in single digits.
