Obverse description A fully armoured knight on horseback galloping to the right, brandishing an upraised sword in his right hand; below the horse, the uncrowned provincial arms of West Friesland are depicted. The entire design is contained within a beaded or linear inner circle. The surrounding legend reads MO : NO ARG PRO : CONFOE · BELG · WESTF, denoting this as a new silver coin of the United Belgian Provinces, West Friesland. The bold, high-relief struck design is characteristic of piedfort issues intended for presentation rather than circulation.
