Gelderland's rijksdaalder production across this period was never uniform — the province contracted work across multiple municipal mints, and die-cutting quality varied accordingly. Coins struck at Harderwijk in particular are known for inconsistent edge treatment, a persistent logistical problem the province never fully resolved.
The rijksdaalder's widespread acceptance in Baltic and Levantine trade made it a de facto commercial currency far beyond Dutch borders, which is precisely why so many surviving examples show heavy circulation wear accumulated abroad rather than domestically.
