| Reverse description | The reverse displays a decorative cross, likely an ornate long cross with pellets or decorative terminals at each arm, occupying the central field — a common type on small denomination coinage of the Dutch Republic. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads + CONCORDIA RES PARVÆ CRESCVNT, the well-known motto of the Dutch Republic meaning 'Through unity small things grow.' The strike is weak in areas due to the hammered technique and irregular flan, and the legend is partially legible around the periphery. The design is characteristic of the small-denomination silver issues struck during the early years of the Republic. |
