6 Stuivers 'Roosschelling'

The roosschelling took its name from the rose that appeared on earlier Burgundian predecessors, and Zeeland's provincial issues continued the denomination through the first half of the seventeenth century largely to meet the insatiable demand of the spice trade clearing through Middelburg. The Zeeland mint operated under persistent tension with the States-General over coin standards during this period, with repeated complaints that provincial silver issues were being struck underweight relative to the Union's agreed specifications.

The .583 fineness placed this well below the coinage of Holland, which created chronic sorting and culling by merchants who knew exactly what they held.
