| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field displays the crowned heraldic shield of the United Provinces, featuring the rampant lion of the Netherlands armed with a sword and bundle of arrows, with the date divided to either side of the shield — 16 to the left and 94 to the right. The ornate crown surmounting the shield is rendered in fine detail with floral and foliate elements. The circumferential legend CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT encircles the design in Roman capitals, proclaiming the motto of the Dutch Republic. The coin's broad milled edge with decorative reeding is clearly visible, consistent with its piedfort (double-weight) character. The overall composition is characteristic of the late-type Holland silver ducat series. |

Piedfort production in the Dutch provinces served a specific documentary function: these double-weight strikes were produced as official presentation pieces and as authoritative reference specimens for customs officials, merchants, and foreign mints needing to verify the standard of Dutch silver coinage. Holland's Silver Ducat was itself a crucial instrument of Dutch trade finance throughout the latter seventeenth century, circulating deep into the Baltic, Levantine, and Asian markets via VOC networks. A piedfort of it was a bureaucratic object as much as a numismatic one.
The 1673–1694 span brackets the worst of Louis XIV's wars against the Republic, including the catastrophic French invasion year of 1672.
