| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field displays the crowned shield of the Dutch Republic — the rampant lion of the Netherlands holding a sword and bundle of arrows upon a quartered escutcheon — surmounted by an elaborate floral crown. The shield is rendered with fine engraving detail, set within an inner beaded circle. The date 1677 appears prominently above the crown at the top of the field. The circular Latin legend CONCORDIA . RES . PARVÆ . CRESCUNT, punctuated by ornamental stops, runs around the periphery, with the full inscription separated from the milled edge by a toothed border consistent with the piedfort striking technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Piedforts — struck at double or greater thickness on standard-diameter blanks — were never intended for circulation. In the Dutch Republic, they functioned as presentation pieces, given by municipal and provincial authorities to diplomats, visiting dignitaries, and influential allies. This example, issued under the States of West Friesland, dates to a period when the province was still asserting administrative identity within the loose confederacy of the Republic, and such pieces carried genuine political weight as gifts.
Dirck Bosch served as mintmaster at the Hoorn mint during this period. The HPM reference places this squarely within the documented West Friesland piedfort series, though surviving examples are scarce enough that auction appearances remain relatively infrequent.
