| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned arms of the Generality of the Dutch Republic occupy the central field within a beaded inner circle, displaying a rampant lion holding a sword and bundle of arrows on a quartered shield. An elaborate arched crown surmounts the shield, with the Middelburg mint mark (castle tower symbol) positioned above the crown. The circumscribed Latin motto legend runs along the outer border between the inner and outer beaded circles. The coin exhibits the characteristically irregular flan planchet typical of mid-seventeenth-century Dutch milled coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zeeland's ducats occupied an awkward political position within the Dutch Republic: the province maintained its own coinage rights jealously, even as the States-General repeatedly pushed for monetary unification. These half ducats circulated heavily in VOC trade networks, where fractional silver was more practically useful than full ducats for small-scale transactions in Asian ports. Zeeland's Chamber of the VOC, headquartered in Middelburg, had a direct stake in keeping provincially-minted silver flowing.
The Type 1 designation distinguishes the date placement on the obverse — a detail that matters when cross-referencing die marriages documented in Delmonte.
