Obverse description Bare-headed, diademed effigy of Queen Wilhelmina facing left, her hair elegantly swept up and secured, wearing a small ornate crown. The portrait, modelled in high relief with fine sculptural detail characteristic of Pier Pander's neoclassical style, occupies the central field. The encircling legend reads WILHELMINA KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN, separated by the truncation of the bust at lower left. The engraver's signature P. PANDER appears in small letters at the base of the truncation. A fine beaded border frames the entire design.
