Obverse description A standing armored knight occupies the center of the field, facing left, holding a bundle of arrows in his right hand and an upright sword in his left — a traditional representation drawn from the coinage of the Dutch Republic. The date 1806 is inscribed in two parts flanking the lower portion of the knight's figure. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading CONCORDIA RES - PAR:CRES: HOL 1806, attesting to the motto of unity inherited from the earlier provincial coinage tradition. The overall design closely follows the classic Dutch ducat type, deliberately retaining the archaic republican iconography despite the Napoleonic political context.
