| Obverse description | The obverse bears the provincial name WEST FRISIAE inscribed across three lines in the field, with the date positioned below. A privy mark in the form of a turnip appears centrally above the inscription, flanked on either side by a rosette ornament. The overall layout is plain and typographic, without figural imagery, consistent with the utilitarian coinage practice of the Dutch provincial mints of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned coat of arms of West Frisia at centre, depicting two rampant lions passant in pale on a quartered shield, surmounted by a detailed coronet. The shield is encircled by a symmetrical laurel or olive wreath, the branches tied at the base, lending a decorative frame to the armorial device. The composition is heraldic in character, rendered in low relief typical of provincial Dutch copper coinage of the period. |
