| Additional information |
Holland struck this piece during a period when the province was effectively financing the Dutch state's naval rebuilding program — the aftermath of the Third Anglo-Dutch War had left the Republic scrambling for liquidity, and provincial coinages like this one helped bridge the gap between central treasury shortfalls and operational needs. The two-year window of issue, 1681–1682, reflects a specific emergency authorization rather than a standing mint order.
The .920 fineness is notably high for provincial silver of this period, suggesting deliberate positioning for mercantile confidence rather than domestic small-change use.
