Comment

Also called Netherlandse Rijksdaalder.

From 1674 the design is modified to give a smaller figure obverse, and a narrower shield reverse without the inner circle, and a small shield at top replacing the previous X. The Delmonte and KM catalogs do not recognize this as a different type, but CNM designates it 2.28.77:
