| Additional information |
West Friesland's stuiver coinage of the 1670s was minted under persistent tension between the regional States and the Holland-dominated VOC monetary bloc, which repeatedly pushed for standardization across Dutch provincial issues. West Friesland resisted, continuing to strike independently through mints like that of Dirck Bosch, whose name appears as mintmaster on this piece. At 0.565 grams, this is among the lightest silver issues circulating in the Republic at the time — a practical consequence of chronic silver shortages exacerbated by the Third Anglo-Dutch War, which had only just concluded the year prior.
