AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ship’s Shilling – West Friesland, Enkhuizen, 1678
Northern Netherlands – Republic of the United Netherlands, West Friesland. Struck at Enkhuizen under the mint-master David Hagenet.
Very sharp specimen, with excellently preserved details on both the obverse and reverse.
An extra special feature is the open 8 in the date, a sought-after die variant that is clearly visible and gives this issue additional appeal for the specialized collector.
The ship’s shilling was struck in the chartered Mint of Enkhuizen, operated by the Amsterdam jeweler Dirck Bosch. The coin dies were produced by the leading die-engraver Christoffel Adolphi, whose work is known for its high quality and refined execution.
Obverse:
A warship sailing before the wind with the Dutch tricolor on the stern. Inscription: DEVS FORTITVDO ET SPES NOSTRA (God is our strength and our hope).
Reverse:
Crowned arms of West Friesland, flanked by the denomination 6 – S, with the inscription MO:NO:ORDIN:WEST:FRISIÆ 1678.
West Friesland formed an administrative part of the County of Holland, but maintained during the Republic its own provincial coinage. The towns Hoorn, Enkhuizen and Medemblik provided the coinage alternately from 1587, a system that remained in place until 1796.
