Additional information

West Friesland was one of the more assertive of the Dutch provincial mints, frequently striking coins that overlapped with — and occasionally undercut — denominations being produced at Holland and Zeeland. The 10 stuiver occupied an awkward middle position in the Dutch silver coinage hierarchy, useful for regional trade but never fully embraced as an inter-provincial circulation piece. By the 1680s, the States of West Friesland were under recurring pressure from the Staten-Generaal to rationalize provincial mintage, pressure they largely ignored.
