| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central composition displaying the seven coats of arms of the United Provinces arranged in a heraldic grouping, representing Gelderland, Flanders, Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Friesland, and Overijssel. The date 1595 appears in the upper field above the armorial arrangement. The encircling legend identifies the monetary authority and legal basis of the issue. The die work is characteristic of the hammered coinage produced at the Utrecht mint in the final decade of the sixteenth century, with irregularities in strike consistent with the hand-striking technique. |

Utrecht struck this issue during the brief and unhappy period of English governance under Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who served as Governor-General of the Dutch Republic from 1586 to 1587. Leicester's tenure was a political disaster — he clashed repeatedly with the States-General, accepted powers beyond his mandate, and ultimately departed in disgrace. The coins bearing his associated types continued to circulate well after his removal, a quiet irony given how thoroughly he had been repudiated.
The "Leicester" attribution in the series refers to coinage types introduced or continued under his administration across several provinces, Utrecht among them. By 1595 the Republic was firmly back under its own direction, eight years removed from Leicester's recall.
