| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rampant lion passant to the left occupies the central field, depicted with an elaborately maned head turned to face the viewer, raised forepaws, and a bifurcated tail curling upward. The figure is boldly struck within a beaded inner circle, with the date 1647 incorporated into the circumferential legend, divided by the mintmaster's mark. The surrounding Latin legend reads continuously around the border with pellet stops separating the words. |

The leeuwendaalder was never intended for domestic Dutch commerce. The States-General authorized it primarily as a trade coin for the Levant and the Baltic, where it circulated widely alongside Spanish pieces of eight as an accepted currency of exchange. Gelderland struck these throughout the 1640s and into the early 1650s during the final years of the Eighty Years' War and its immediate aftermath, a period when provincial minting rights were exercised with particular energy before the Peace of Münster reshaped the political order in 1648.
The KM#42.2 attribution distinguishes this from the earlier facing-right knight type, a die distinction documented by Delmonte and Verkade that collectors frequently conflate at cursory examination.
