| Obverse description | Square klippe flan struck with three applied punch stamps on an otherwise plain silver surface. At center, the civic arms of Zierikzee are impressed within a beaded circle. At the top of the flan, a smaller stamp bearing the arms of Zeeland is applied within its own beaded circle. At the bottom, the date is punched within an ornate decorative frame. The crude, improvised character of the stamping is typical of siege coinage produced under emergency conditions during the Spanish blockade of Zierikzee. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unworked silver surface retaining the natural texture and tool marks of the roughly cut klippe flan. The reverse shows no intentional design or inscription, consistent with the emergency production method of this siege issue, in which stamps were applied only to one face of the planchet. |
