Codrington X§26 Schelling(v) calls them Staten or Plakaat Schelling but describes them as having a knight on horseback. He lists coins from United Provinces Utrecht 1679, 1680, 1691; Kampen 1691; Deventer 1686 1690; and Zutphen are found in in Lanka.

The date which is not clear in scan needed to be read under 10X magnification of original coin on which it is clearer.
