| Reverse description | The standing figure of the Dutch Maiden (Leo Belgicus personified as a draped female figure), serving as the allegorical personification of Zeeland, is depicted within a fenced garden enclosure, her right hand raised upward in a gesture of defiance or supplication. The base of the fence incorporates the crowned coat of arms of Zeeland — a rampant lion emerging from waves — functioning as the central gate element. The encircling legend LUCTOR · ET · EMERGO · (I struggle and overcome), the provincial motto of Zeeland, appears around the periphery accompanied by the date 1663 and the Middelburg mint mark (castle tower symbol). The composition reflects the emblematic heraldic style characteristic of Dutch Republic provincial coinage. |
