| Reverse description | A large sevenfold quartered shield of arms, incorporating the heraldic devices of the seven United Provinces of the Netherlands, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The date 1595 is prominently placed above the shield, flanked by elements of the surrounding legend. The arms are rendered in fine engraved detail characteristic of late sixteenth-century Dutch hammered coinage, with each quarter displaying the distinctive provincial charges including rampant lions, water waves, and an eagle. The circumscription in the outer field identifies the coin as an issue of the federated provinces struck to imperial standards. |
