| Obverse description | Standing armored knight facing right in full plate armor, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a bundle of arrows in his left, with a crowned shield at his side. The date 1753 is inscribed in the lower field flanking the knight's legs. A circular Zeeland VOC countermark, bearing the intertwined 'Z' monogram, is applied to the left field. The circular peripheral legend reads CONCORDIA RES PAR CRES ZEL, denoting the Zeeland provincial motto and mint authority. |

| Reverse description | Five-line Latin inscription enclosed within an ornate rectangular tablet, the frame surrounded by elaborate Baroque foliate and scroll ornaments with floral finials at the top and bottom. The abbreviated legend, reading MO ORD PROVIN FOEDER BELG AD LEG IMP, translates as 'Money of the Ordinate Provinces of the Federated Belgians according to Imperial Law,' affirming the coin's legal standing under the Holy Roman Empire. The overall composition is characteristic of the standard Dutch ducat type struck by the provincial mints of the United Provinces. |
