| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned heraldic shield of West Friesland, featuring two rampant lions passant arranged in pale upon a divided escutcheon. The shield is surmounted by a mural crown adorned with five stars, rendered in low relief against an unadorned field. The design is characteristic of the provincial Dutch coinage style of the mid-eighteenth century, with no surrounding legend. |
