| Obverse description | The obverse displays the provincial name WEST FRISIÆ in bold capital letters arranged across three lines within the field, with the date below. A decorative rosette flanked by two small stars appears at the top of the legend, and a single star is positioned at the bottom. The entire design is enclosed within a milled or reeded border, giving the coin a neat, orderly appearance characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the crowned arms of West Friesland: a shield bearing two rows of three lions passant, surmounted by a royal crown, and flanked on either side by an upright laurel or olive branch, symbolizing the provincial authority. The shield and branches are rendered in moderate relief, and the overall composition is framed by a milled border consistent with that on the obverse. The heraldic style is typical of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Dutch provincial coinage. |
