| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the crowned shield of West Friesland bearing a rampant lion, surmounted by an elaborate crown with five visible points. The date appears above the crown at the top of the field, while the denomination mark 'X' and 'ST' flank the shield on either side. A continuous Latin legend runs along the outer border, separated by pellets. The overall design is characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the late 18th century, with bold, deeply struck relief. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length figure of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, standing in the field facing slightly to the right, draped in classical robes and wearing a plumed helmet. She leans with her left arm upon a pillar on which a Bible rests, symbolizing faith and law, while her right hand holds an upright spear topped with a liberty hat (Phrygian cap). A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, separated by stops, conveying the motto of the Dutch Republic. The composition reflects the allegorical iconography common to Dutch provincial coinage of the 18th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
West Friesland was one of the more financially assertive of the Dutch provincial authorities, maintaining its own coinage well into the final decades of the Republic despite recurring pressure from the States-General to consolidate minting. The 1780s production of this denomination coincides almost exactly with the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, which devastated Dutch trade and strained provincial treasuries severely enough that minting schedules across the Republic became erratic.
The series runs to 1796 — the year the Batavian Republic was proclaimed under French influence, effectively ending autonomous provincial coinage forever.
