| Obverse description | Armoured knight standing facing right, holding a spear or ribbon, with a shield bearing the Holland coat of arms (a rampant lion with a cross, uncrowned) positioned at his side. The date 1589 appears below in the field, divided by the shield. The surrounding circular legend is rendered in Latin characters separated by decorative stops, with a beaded inner border framing the central design. The composition reflects the characteristic late sixteenth-century Dutch Republic hammered style, with bold relief and irregular flan typical of piedfort strikings. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the sinister occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with flowing mane and raised forepaws, characteristic of the Dutch Leeuwendaalder type. A small shield bearing the Utrecht arms appears at the top of the field above the lion, serving as the mint mark. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the Latin circular legend disposed around the periphery, punctuated by lozenge-shaped stops. The overall strike is bold and well-centred, consistent with the heavier flan of this piedfort double-weight specimen. |
