1 Schelling `Roosschelling` klippe, piedfort at double weight

Klippes — square-cut planchets — were produced by Dutch provincial mints primarily as presentation pieces and collector's items rather than for circulation. West Friesland's mint at Hoorn was one of the more prolific issuers of such pieces during the seventeenth century. The piedfort format, struck at double the standard planchet weight, amplifies this already non-circulating character: these were display objects, likely gifted to civic officials or foreign dignitaries.

The "Roosschelling" name derives from the rose that appeared on the type, distinguishing it within the schelling series. The long date range reflects a repeated type rather than continuous production.
