The franc à cheval — named for the equestrian figure struck by Jean II of France beginning in 1360 — was among the first major gold coinages of medieval Europe issued under royal authority rather than feudal mint rights. Its production coincided directly with Jean II's release from English captivity following the Battle of Poitiers; the coin was partly intended to signal restored Valois financial credibility. The Netherlands Antilles issued this piece in the long-running series commemorating historical European coinage designs, a program that ran across several denominations and reigns of Queen Beatrix.
