| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the crowned arms of Groningen — a shield bearing a double-headed imperial eagle displayed, set within an ornate cartouche surmounted by a decorative crown. The eagle is rendered in fine relief with spread wings and talons extended, typical of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Dutch municipal heraldic coinage. A beaded inner circle borders the central device, with the circular Latin legend running between the beaded and outer rims. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and shallow strike of hammered billon coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Groningen struck these billon pieces during a period of acute monetary pressure — the city maintained de facto autonomous minting rights well into the early seventeenth century, a stubbornness rooted in its history as a semi-independent urban power within the loosely confederated Dutch Republic. The "Jager" type takes its name from the hunter figure, though the city's right to strike such fractional billon coinage was perpetually contested by the States General, who regarded provincial and municipal mints as a source of monetary fragmentation.
KM#11.1 distinguishes this variety from related emissions by shield configuration. Billon issues from Groningen in this period circulated heavily in the northeastern provinces, where small change was chronically scarce.
