1 Stuiver

Bolsward, one of the eleven Frisian cities, exercised independent minting rights during the mid-fifteenth century — a privilege that reflected the decentralized political structure of Friesland, which lacked a resident count and functioned under a loose form of collective urban governance. The city's stuiver issues of this period circulated primarily within the regional Frisian economy, competing and overlapping with coinage from neighboring minting towns like Dokkum and Stavoren.

The Levinson and Van der Chijs references for this type document known die variations across the issue span, suggesting production was intermittent rather than continuous across the twenty-three year window.
