The coin was issued in 1759, just a few years before the Dutch Republic was annexed by Napoleon's France in 1810, and it reflects the economic and political tensions of that time. The coin's design, featuring a crowned shield with the Utrecht coat of arms, symbolizes the province's independence and sovereignty, which was a significant issue during that period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 7 grams, indicates that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin, both then and now.
