| Obverse description | Armored knight standing to left with head facing right, wearing a plumed helmet, holding a ribbon or scroll in the right hand; the coat of arms of Holland is depicted behind the figure, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The legend surrounds the central device in Latin, identifying the coin as silver coinage of the imperial Netherlands city of Deventer. The figure is rendered in the typical bold, engraved style of late seventeenth-century Dutch municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left occupies the central field, contained within a beaded inner circle. The date is divided at the top of the inner circle by the privy mark of a sitting dog. The surrounding Latin legend, drawn from Psalm 125, encircles the entire design and reflects the Calvinist piety characteristic of Dutch civic coinage of this period. |
