| Reverse description | The central device depicts a bundle of arrows, the heraldic symbol of the united Dutch provinces, radiating from a central point to fill the field. The denomination indicator flanks the bundle, with the value letters I and S appearing in the field to either side. The entire composition is enclosed within a wreath border consistent with the obverse treatment. The design is typical of the so-called Pijlstuiver type, referencing the arrow bundle motif of the Dutch Republic. |

| Additional information |
Zeeland maintained its own mint with considerable autonomy throughout the Dutch Republic period, and the provincial stuiver coinage reflects that independence — Zeeland's issues frequently deviated from the resolutions passed by the States-General attempting to standardize small silver across the seven provinces. The billon fineness itself was a recurring point of contention, with periodic accusations that provincial mints were striking below the agreed standard to maximize seigniorage revenue.
The long production span across nearly eight decades means die varieties are numerous and not fully catalogued. Collectors working the HPM reference will find Ver#94.3 covers only a subset of the known emission dates.
