Beschrijving keerzijde A crowned rampant lion facing left, brandishing an upraised sword in its right forepaw and grasping a bundle of seven arrows in its left, representing the seven United Provinces of the Dutch Republic. The lion divides the abbreviated denomination numeral and letter to either side within the field. The design follows the standard heraldic lion type used throughout Dutch provincial coinage of the seventeenth century.

Aanvullende informatie

Klippe piedforts of this type were never intended for circulation. West Friesland produced them as assay or presentation pieces — struck on a square, double-thickness planchet to demonstrate the exactness of the mint's weight standards to merchants and trade partners. A piedfort at quadruple the coin's nominal weight allowed direct comparison against official scale weights without requiring multiples of the coin itself.

The thirty-year window of this issue spans the final decades of the Dutch Golden Age, when West Friesland's mint at Hoorn operated under close scrutiny from the States General over weight and fineness compliance.
