| Obverse description | Armored half-length figure of a knight facing right, wearing a plumed helmet and gorget, holding a long sword upright in the right hand and a sheaf of arrows — the symbol of the Seven United Provinces — in the left hand. The effigy is rendered in the robust late-Renaissance hammered style characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the late sixteenth century. The figure is contained within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend in Latin reads CONCORDIA · RES · PARVÆ · CRESCUNT · GEL, proclaiming the Gelderland provincial motto. |
