| Additional information |
Zeeland's provincial coinage of this period occupied an awkward monetary position — the States issued these large silver pieces partly to satisfy domestic trade demand and partly to compete with the flood of Rijksdaalders and Leeuwendaalders circulating from Holland and Utrecht. The denomination itself, valued at 10 schelling, sat between the standard daalder and the heavier ducaton, which made it commercially useful but never dominant.
Zeeland's mint at Middelburg was one of the smaller provincial operations, and output across this eight-year window was inconsistent. Pieces from the early 1690s are noticeably scarcer than those struck in the late 1680s.
