| Additional information |
The "bezemstuiver" — broom stuiver — takes its name from the bundle of arrows on the reverse, which Dutch speakers apparently found more suggestive of a broom than its intended heraldic meaning. Utrecht struck these in gold as a fractional piece during a period when the province still exercised independent coining rights under the Union of Utrecht, rights that would be formally extinguished with the Batavian Republic's centralization of the Dutch monetary system after 1795. The long production window across five decades reflects routine restriking rather than continuous demand.
