Deventer issued its own rijderschellingen between 1683 and 1691 under the authority of the city magistrate. The 1691 issue belongs to the later Type D, characterised by the unornamented, pointed Deventer shield and the denomination placed beside it. It was struck during the tenure of mintmaster Pieter Sluijsken and represents the final year of this six-stuiver Deventer rijderschelling series.
