| Additional information |
Gelderland's silver duit was an anomaly from the start — the duit was conventionally a copper denomination, and striking it in silver reflected the chronic shortage of small silver coinage circulating in the Dutch Republic during the mid-eighteenth century rather than any deliberate monetary ambition. The Province of Gelderland had considerable autonomy in its coinage decisions, and this issue exploited that latitude.
Production across the 1759–1765 window was intermittent, tied directly to silver availability at the Harderwijk mint.
