| Obverse description | Standing armored knight in three-quarter view facing right, holding a bundle of arrows in the left hand and a sword upright over the right shoulder, with the date 16-73 flanking the figure in the field. The knight wears a plumed helmet and full plate armor with ornate detailing. A circular legend runs along the milled border, reading CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT HOL. The overall style is characteristic of Dutch Republic coinage of the late seventeenth century, struck on a broad, thick piedfort flan with a granular milled edge. |
