| Additional information |
This type spans one of the most consequential breaks in Dutch monetary history: production continued through 1940, then stopped entirely when Germany occupied the Netherlands in May of that year. Wartime issues resumed not in the Netherlands but in Philadelphia and San Francisco, where the U.S. Mint struck Dutch coinage under agreement to supply the Dutch government-in-exile. Those American-struck pieces carry a palm tree privy mark rather than the usual Utrecht sword.
The .640 fineness was set during a 1919 reform that reduced silver content across the Dutch series, a direct consequence of rising silver prices after World War I.
