Obverse description	The central field bears the crowned coat of arms of the city of Haarlem — a shield charged with a crescent and three stars — flanked by ornate foliate supporters and set within a beaded inner border. The date 1573 is divided by the shield, with the numerals 15 to the left and 73 to the right. A silversmith's mark appears below the shield in the lower field. The design is struck on a square klippe flan with clipped corners, characteristic of emergency coinage produced during the Spanish siege of the city.
