| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully-rigged three-masted Dutch sailing vessel depicted in fine detail, shown underway to the right on stylized waves, with sails set and flags flying from the masts. The ship fills nearly the entire field in a bold, high-relief rendering characteristic of Zeeland maritime coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the ship, interrupted by a mint mark (rook symbol) at the lower right. The reverse design gives the coin its popular name 'Scheepjesschelling' (little ship schelling). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The scheepjesschelling — "little ship shilling" — was a distinctly Zealandic denomination that persisted well into the final decade of the Dutch Republic, long after most other provinces had rationalized their coinage. Zeeland's stubborn retention of provincial types was not mere conservatism; the maritime trading economy of the delta province ran on familiar coin, and merchants resisted anything that disrupted the reckoning habits of the quayside.
The .583 fineness placed these pieces below the standard of many contemporary Dutch silver issues, a deliberate provincial choice that generated modest seigniorage revenue for the Zeeland treasury across the nearly four decades of this KM#90.2 run.
