| Additional information |
Deventer's stuiver coinage of the mid-seventeenth century was struck under the monetary authority of the Overijssel quarter, one of the seven sovereign provinces of the Dutch Republic. The city maintained its own mint rights well into the latter half of the century, a privilege increasingly contested by the States General as they pushed toward unified coinage standards across the Republic. KM#61 falls squarely in that period of tension.
Billon was already an anachronism by 1663 — most provincial mints had shifted lower denominations to copper — making Deventer's continued use of the alloy a minor act of institutional conservatism.
