| Obverse description | The provincial name ZEELANDIA is inscribed across three lines in the field, divided as ZEE / LAN / DIA, with the date below, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches. The lettering is rendered in a bold, archaic Roman typeface characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the late seventeenth century. The overall composition is simple and heraldic in character, with the wreath forming a cartouche-like border around the central inscription. |

| Reverse description | The standing figure of the Dutch Maiden (Leo Belgicus personified as a female allegory of freedom) is depicted within a fenced garden, her right hand raised upward in a gesture of defiance or supplication. The gate of the enclosing fence is formed by the coat of arms of Zeeland, a shield barry wavy of six argent and azure charged with a lion. The Middelburg mint mark appears at the top of the field. The encircling legend LVCTOR ET EMERGO, the motto of the Province of Zeeland meaning 'I struggle and overcome,' runs around the periphery, punctuated by pellets and the mint mark symbol. |
