Obverse description Central shield bearing the Utrecht arms — a diagonal band (bend) across a plain field, surmounted by an elaborate mural crown with three visible fleurons — rendered in high relief against an unadorned field. The shield displays the characteristic flat-topped form distinctive of Utrecht civic heraldry. No legend surrounds the device; the entire composition is dominated by the crowned armorial, occupying the full flan. The serrated border is visible along the coin's periphery.

Reverse description Central field features the interlaced VOC monogram in raised relief, representing the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie. A privy mark in the form of a small shield appears at the top of the design, flanked by pellets. The date is positioned below the monogram in the lower field. No surrounding legend is present; the design is spare and functional, consistent with VOC coinage practice for the Utrecht Chamber.
