Leycesterdaalder Pubblico Deposited
A silver coin of Crown size issued for Gueldres, West Frisia, Zeeland, etc., pursuant to an ordinance of August 4, 1586, and continued until about, the middle of the seventeenth century. It bears on the obverse a reputed half-length portrait of Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and on the reverse the armorial shields of the six Provinces (on some specimens seven), that opposed the Spanish rule. From the latter circumstance it is also known as the Unierijksdaalder.
