Frisia's 1579 daalder arrives in the same year the Union of Utrecht was signed — the foundational compact that bound the northern provinces against Spanish rule and effectively created the political entity that would become the Dutch Republic. Frisia was a signatory. The coins it struck immediately before and after that January agreement carry an almost documentary weight as artifacts of that rupture.
Delmonte S#139 is scarce relative to Holland and Zeeland issues of the same type, reflecting Frisia's smaller minting capacity and the chronic administrative friction between the provincial estates and their mint masters throughout the 1570s.
