| Obverse description | Four applied counterstamps arranged across the field of a plain octagonal silver flan: the arms of Haarlem at center, a rampant half-lion facing left at the top, the Holland lion within a shield at the left, and the date at the bottom. The counterstamps were applied by hammer during the siege as a means of certifying the bullion value of the emergency coinage. The overall execution is characteristic of hastily produced siege money, with each punch impression showing varying depth and alignment. |
