| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned arms of West Friesland at center, mirroring the heraldic composition of the obverse with a quartered shield of passant lions beneath a royal crown with trefoil finials. The VOC monogram — the conjoined initials of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie — and the mint date 1756 are inscribed in the field below the shield. A milled or rope-pattern border frames the design at the periphery. The composition is bold and well-centered, consistent with VOC copper coinage struck at Enkhuizen for colonial circulation. |
