| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of Gelderland — a shield bearing a rampant lion — flanked by the denomination numeral X to the left and the abbreviation ST. to the right. Below the shield, an ornate cartouche contains the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) monogram within a decorative scroll. The date 1786 appears in the upper field beneath the crown. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design, reading MO : ARG : ORD : FOE : BELG : D : GEL : & : C : Z :, identifying this as a silver coin of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, Gelderland. |

| Additional information |
By the mid-1780s, Gelderland's finances were severely strained by factional conflict between the Orangist and Patriot movements that was tearing the Dutch Republic apart. The provincial States had limited independent monetary authority, and small silver issues like this one were often struck to meet immediate fiscal obligations rather than as part of coordinated Dutch monetary policy.
KM#52 is catalogued with modest surviving populations, most examples coming from hoards rather than continuous circulation.
