| Reverse description | Crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of the Seven United Provinces, positioned centrally within a beaded inner circle, with the date divided by the shield on either side. The crowned arms are rendered with fine detail, with the surrounding peripheral legend in Latin. The composition reflects the federalist symbolism of the Dutch Republic. |

| Additional information |
Utrecht's rijksdaalders of this period were struck under the decentralized monetary authority of the Dutch Republic, where each province maintained its own mint — a system that produced chronic complaints about weight and fineness inconsistencies between provincial issues. The States General repeatedly attempted to enforce uniform standards throughout the seventeenth century, with limited success.
Delmonte's work on Dutch silver remains the definitive reference for separating the often-subtle die variations across Utrecht's prolific output during these decades.
