| Additional information |
The Golden Rider series takes its name from the equestrian figure that dominated Dutch provincial gold coinage through much of the 18th century, but Overijssel's contribution to the type was among the least prolific. The province struck these half-riders across only three years, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce — Overijssel never commanded the minting volume of Holland or Gelderland.
Delmonte's census of Dutch gold remains the authoritative reference for distinguishing provincial varieties within this series, and the G#1061 attribution places this piece firmly within a small, identifiable group.
