14 Gulden

The 14 Gulden denomination is peculiar even by the standards of Dutch provincial coinage — it corresponds to the rider or cavalier d'or tradition but at a fraction adjusted specifically for trade settlement in the Rhine corridor, where Gelderland's geographic position made it a commercial intermediary between the Austrian Netherlands and the German states. The province struck these during a period when the Dutch Republic's federal coinage system was breaking down under competing provincial interests, each mint producing what the local economy demanded rather than what Utrecht's generaliteit preferred.

Gelderland's mint at Harderwijk was responsible for this output. Die-to-die consistency on this type is notoriously poor.
