This type is described by Van Loon as dated 1609, and likely in response to the Twelve Years' Truce. It is also known with the dates 1617 and 1622. Produced by the West Frisian mint master Caspar Wijntges (signature, lily) and probably commissioned by the West Frisian States; attributed to the provincial die cutter Jacob (Paulus?) Uyttenwael.
