| Obverse description | Three applied counterstamps on a plain silver klippe field: the arms of Haarlem struck centrally, depicting the city's heraldic shield; a rampant lion facing left applied in the upper field; and the date incused below the central arms. The counterstamps are primitively executed, consistent with the emergency production conditions of the 1572–1573 siege, and the surrounding field is unworked and undecorated. |
