Finally, a real error! This has got to be a doubled-die, it's visible around the whole coin.

Not necessarily. It could be what is called a "shelf doubling."
The planchet shifts during the striking process.
Re-engraved dies are limited to only a few letters/numbers. Shelf doubling
often covers a larger area. If I had this coin in hand I would examine the beads
nearest to the area with the most doubling. Those which show in your enlarged image.
There might be a slight doubling there also. Quite apparent enlarged. From a junk bin?

An excellent definition of shelf doubling may be found below:

Well identified!
There is much less doubling effect in the centre of the coin, than there is in the peripheral legends.

Hi...I collect European coins from this period, and a few details on this one got my attention.
I have pointed out the notching of serifs and a (very) overlapped O in KONINGRIJK--that's quite a blunder!
What is also apparent is the elongation of the beads around the design--offset in the same direction as the legend.
The separation you see here can't be due to strike doubling--it happened during the hubbing of the die. Nice one!

There could be other things going on in the date, but I'm pretty certain this part is a doubled die.
