| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a standing armored knight in full three-quarter view, facing right, clad in period plate armor with ruffled collar, holding a bundle of arrows in his right hand — symbolizing the Union of Utrecht — and a long upright sword or lance in his left. The figure stands on a small ground line, with the date 1725 divided across the lower field on either side of the knight's legs. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design, reading CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRES TRA, referencing the provincial motto of Utrecht. The coin's irregular flan, characteristic of hammered coinage, gives the design a slightly off-center appearance typical of Dutch Republic provincial issues. |

Utrecht's "Middle type" ducaton series in base metal occupies an odd corner of Dutch provincial coinage — these were not intended as circulating currency in the conventional sense but served as currency substitutes and trade facilitators during periods when silver supplies were diverted to satisfy VOC shipping demands. The Province of Utrecht, always the smaller player among the Seven Provinces, issued these copper pieces across the late 1720s partly to address localized small-transaction shortfalls that silver coinage couldn't economically fill.
HPM Ut 25.1 distinguishes this from the earlier and later Utrecht ducat types by specific obverse die characteristics documented by Heinse, Purmer, and Van der Meer.
