| Additional information |
Overijssel was among the smaller of the seven United Provinces, and its gold ducats were struck under the authority of the provincial States rather than a centralized mint — a deliberate structural choice that preserved regional autonomy even as the Dutch Republic projected commercial dominance across global trade networks. The VOC and its rivals accepted these ducats interchangeably with issues from Holland or Zeeland, as the .986 fineness was legally standardized across all provinces by the Union of Utrecht's monetary articles.
The CNM reference places this firmly within the documented Kampen or Deventer output for Overijssel, though attribution between the two municipal mints operating under provincial contract during this span remains a point of ongoing specialist debate.
