Holland's provincial guilder coinage operated in parallel with — and frequently in tension against — the output of the Generaliteit mints, and the 1694 date falls squarely in the period when the States of Holland were financing William III's wars against Louis XIV at ruinous cost. The province was carrying a disproportionate share of the Dutch Republic's war debt, and silver coinage from this period circulated hard across the Atlantic trade networks, the Baltic grain routes, and into the Levant.
The .920 fineness aligns with the provincial standard Holland maintained through most of the late seventeenth century, though enforcement across the seven provinces was inconsistent enough that contemporary merchants routinely assayed individual pieces rather than trusting face value.
