Beschrijving keerzijde Central design features a radiate sunburst or besom-like spray of lines emanating from a central point, suggestive of a broom head, which gives this type its popular name 'Bezemstuiver'. The denomination numeral '1' appears to the left and the letter 'S' (for Stuiver) to the right of the central motif, together reading '1 S'. The entire composition is encircled by a wreath of laurel or olive branches, tied at the base with a small pellet or knot. A toothed border runs along the coin's outer edge, consistent with milled production. The overall design is simple and functional, typical of small-denomination Dutch provincial silver coinage of the eighteenth century.

Aanvullende informatie

Overijssel's stuiver coinage of this period was produced under the fragmented monetary administration of the Dutch Republic, where each province retained the right to strike its own silver — a system that generated chronic complaints about underweight and debased provincial issues circulating alongside those of Holland and Zeeland. The "bezemstuiver" nickname, derived from the broom bundled into the provincial arms, distinguished this type in everyday commerce from superficially similar pieces struck elsewhere.

At under a gram of .583 silver, these were working coins ground through daily transactions for three decades.
