Beschrijving keerzijde Central field displays a large, elaborate Tudor-style rose rendered in high relief with intricately scrolled and foliate petals radiating symmetrically from a hexagonal centre boss, the whole occupying most of the field. The ornamental rose motif — characteristic of the 'Roosschelling' type — is surrounded by a peripheral Latin legend reading clockwise, set within a beaded inner border and a plain outer rim.

Aanvullende informatie

West Friesland produced pattern strikes in gold on a handful of its silver shilling dies during the early 1680s, almost certainly as presentation pieces for provincial officials or foreign dignitaries rather than as currency proposals. The roosschelling — named for the rose appearing on the type — was an everyday silver coin of minimal face value, which makes the decision to strike it at two-ducat weight in gold a deliberate act of display rather than monetary planning.

Delmonte catalogued only a handful of Dutch gold patterns with any confidence, and the HPM reference places this firmly within the West Frisian provincial series rather than the better-documented Holland or Zeeland strikes.
