Scheepjesschelling of the province of Zeeland, dated 1790 and struck at Middelburg.

Reverse:
Three-masted sailing ship sailing to the right on waves, with sails and flags. An anchor appears at the bow, with a castle mintmark above.

Historical and numismatic context:
Zeeland adopted the scheepjesschelling design in 1750, replacing its earlier hoedjesschelling while retaining the Latin motto, meaning “To be handed on as received.” These six-stuiver issues were produced for export through the Dutch East India Company (VOC), placing this 1790 issue within the overseas monetary system of the Dutch Republic.
