| Obverse description | Shield bearing the arms of Kampen — a fortified city gate flanked by two towers with pennants, all enclosed within a pointed heraldic escutcheon. A small inescutcheon appears at the base of the gateway portcullis. The city name CAMPEN is inscribed in capital letters below the shield, separated by a stop. The coin displays a beaded border around the circumference. |

| Reverse description | Three-line Latin inscription filling the field, reading NE- / CESSITAS / ALTERA, meaning 'a second necessity,' referencing the emergency circumstances of the siege coinage issue. The date 1672 appears below the legend, flanked by pellets. The reverse field is plain with a beaded border, and the bold, primitive lettering is characteristic of hastily produced siege coinage. |
