| Obverse description | Diamond-shaped klippe flan struck by hammer in a primitive emergency style. At center, a circular beaded border encloses a crowned lion rampant to the left within a heraldic shield surmounted by a cross, the whole serving as the arms of Zierikzee. Below the central device, the date 1575 appears in ornate gothic numerals. Toward the upper point of the klippe, a small oval countermark depicts a lion over waves, representing the Zeeland provincial mark. The flat, irregular fields bear the characteristic flow lines and surface texture of hastily prepared siege coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a broad, entirely plain and uninscribed field across the full diamond-shaped klippe surface, left unworked as was typical of emergency siege coinage produced under the constraints of the 1575 Zierikzee siege. The flan exhibits pronounced hammer marks, flow lines, and an uneven surface consistent with hastily cut and struck klippe planchets. No legend, device, or mint mark is present on this face. |
