| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion reclining to the left occupies the central field, its raised right paw supporting an upright spear topped by a liberty cap, the classic symbol of Dutch freedom. The figure is rendered with fine detail in the mane and body. A Latin legend encircles the design, divided by the spear shaft, with the Middelburg mintmark (tower symbol) positioned at the close of the legend. The overall composition reflects the standard allegorical imagery employed by the States of Zeeland during the Dutch Republic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
1672 is the *Rampjaar* — the Disaster Year — when France, England, Münster, and Cologne simultaneously invaded the Dutch Republic. The financial strain on the individual provincial mints was extreme, and Zeeland's output during this period reflects both emergency production pressures and the need to assert provincial monetary authority at a moment when the Republic's survival was genuinely in doubt.
A piedfort at roughly double the normal flan weight, this piece was almost certainly struck as a presentation or trial piece rather than for circulation. Such strikings from Dutch provincial mints are documented but rarely survive, and the Hoedjesschelling series from Zeeland already occupies a narrow collecting niche.
