| Reverse description | The bold interlaced VOC cypher monogram — standing for Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie — dominates the central field, formed by two overlapping 'O' letters flanking a large 'V', with the 'C' entwined to the right. At the top of the field, above the monogram, appears the West Friesland mintmark comprising a crowned fleur-de-lis flanked by two rosettes. The date 1736 is inscribed in the lower field, flanked by raised dots. The design is framed by an embossed reeded rim consistent with the obverse. |
