| Beschrijving voorzijde | At center, the crowned provincial shield of Friesland bearing two passant lions, the denomination numeral '6' to the left of the shield and 'ST' to the right, dividing the field. The shield is surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with ornamental fleurons. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially inverted at the base, reading MONETA · ARGENTEA · ORDINVM · FRISIÆ, with the lettering arranged around the entire coin face. The overall design is executed in high relief with fine milled borders, consistent with the artistic conventions of late 17th-century Dutch provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The rijderschelling was conventionally a silver denomination, and this gold striking of 1682 falls squarely into the category of piefort-adjacent pattern coinage — produced not for circulation but almost certainly for presentation or to demonstrate die quality to the States of Friesland's mint authorities. Delmonte's classification confirms the rarity tier. At 9.76g in gold, it substantially outweighs its silver counterpart, which typically ran under 5g.
Friesland maintained its own mint at Bolsward with jealously guarded provincial autonomy throughout the Dutch Republic period, frequently issuing types that diverged from Holland's preferred standards.
