| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the city gate of Kampen is depicted frontally, rendered as a fortified structure with three prominent towers capped by onion-shaped cupolas and a central arched gateway. The date is divided by the central tower, with numerals placed to either side in the field. The gate facade displays detailed ashlar masonry and crenellated battlements in a bold, relief style characteristic of hammered coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin runs along the outer rim, separated from the inner circle by a flat border. |

| Additional information |
Kampen struck this daalder under a municipal minting privilege that the city jealously protected through the mid-seventeenth century, even as the Dutch Republic worked steadily to consolidate coinage authority away from provincial and civic mints. The "Arendrijksdaalder" — the eagle-rix-dollar — was Kampen's answer to the Burgundian and Imperial rijksdaalder tradition, struck to the same approximate weight standard to remain credible in regional trade along the IJssel.
The city's mint was notoriously irregular in output, and the twenty-year span of this type reflects sporadic production rather than sustained campaigns. Delmonte recorded significant die variation across the series.
