| Obverse description | A fully armoured knight on horseback advances to the right, raising a sword aloft in his right hand; the horse is depicted in a dynamic rearing posture with flowing mane and tail. Beneath the horse, a crowned heraldic shield bearing the arms of West Friesland — charged with two lions passant — occupies the lower field. The circular Latin legend MON FOED BELG PRO WESTF IN USUM SOCIET IND ORIENT runs around the periphery, separated by pellets, within a finely reeded border. The entire composition is rendered in high relief with considerable sculptural detail characteristic of Dutch Baroque die-engraving. |
