| Obverse description | Central field displays the Latin inscription D / GEL / RIÆ / 1755 arranged in four horizontal lines, abbreviating 'Geldriæ' (of Gelderland), flanked on either side by an upright olive or laurel branch. A small rosette or floral ornament appears to each side of the letter D at the top of the legend. At the base of the wreath, a crane bird — the mint privy mark of the Harderwijk mint — is depicted standing, serving simultaneously as a decorative element and as a mintmaster's mark. The coin rim is defined by a continuous border of fine reeding. |
