| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands in profile facing right, occupying the central field, his right hand raised bearing a drawn sword and his left hand grasping a bundle of seven arrows — the symbol of the seven United Provinces. The date 1673 is divided by the knight's figure. No inner circle is present, and the peripheral Latin legend runs along the rim. The strike, executed by hammering on a copper flan, results in an irregular planchet with softly defined relief typical of uniface pattern production. |

| Obverse lettering | CONCORDIA · RES PAR · CRES · HOL · 1673 (Translation: With harmony, small things grow. Holland.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, as this piece is a uniface pattern struck from a single die. The copper flan exhibits a flat, unworked surface with natural irregularities and flow lines consistent with hammered coinage production. No legend, design, or mintmark is present. |
