| Obverse description | Crude square klippe flan with bevelled corners, struck from improvised dies during the siege. At centre, the arms of Haarlem displayed on a shaped shield: a vertical sword surmounted by a cross, flanked by six small five-pointed stars arranged around the blade. Above the shield, a separate stamp depicting a star above a crescent moon within a small escutcheon. Below the shield, a rectangular cartouche stamp bearing the date 1572 in incuse numerals. The overall composition reflects the emergency production conditions of the besieged city, with three distinct punch applications visible on the plain silver field. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unworked silver field retaining the natural surface of the cut klippe blank, showing the characteristic hammer marks and flow lines of the hammered technique. The reverse bears no intentional design, serving solely as the anvil face during the striking process. Surface is heavily abraded with numerous die-contact marks consistent with emergency siege coinage production. The irregular texture of the flan is clearly visible across the entire field. |
