| Obverse description | The central field displays the crowned provincial arms of Zeeland: a shield charged with a lion rampant rising from horizontal wavy lines symbolising the sea. The shield is surmounted by a provincial crown rendered in a plain, unadorned style consistent with small-denomination VOC copper coinage. No surrounding legend appears on this face, leaving the field entirely devoted to the heraldic device. The design is characteristic of the Zeeland Chamber issues, with the arms struck in low but clearly defined relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by the large interlaced VOC cipher — the monogram of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie — centrally placed within a plain field. Three six-pointed stars are arranged in a horizontal row above the monogram. The date is divided to either side of the cipher's base, with the first two numerals of the year to the left and the final two to the right, following the standard layout of Zeeland Chamber half-duit issues. No surrounding legend is present, the design relying solely on the monogram, stars, and divided date. |
