History
All of the seven United Provinces of the Netherlands – Holland, Overijssel, Zeeland, Gelderland, Groningen, Utrecht and Frisia – had the right to mint coins. Additionally minting privileges were also extended to the region of West Frisia (which was part of the province of Holland) and the cities of Deventer, Groningen, Kampen, Nijmegen, Zutphen and Zwolle. The 17th and 18th centuries became a period of remarkable monetary stability.
