| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the crowned arms of the province of Zeeland, depicting a lion rampant emerging from waves, rendered in low relief against a plain field. The shield is surmounted by a mural crown with five visible points. No peripheral legend appears; the design occupies the full flan in a simple, utilitarian heraldic style characteristic of VOC copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | Large interlaced VOC cipher — the monogram of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie — dominates the central field, with the date divided below in two parts flanking the lower elements of the monogram. At the apex, a castle mintmark (denoting the Zeeland chamber) is flanked by two rosettes or stars in the upper field. Dots appear on either side of the date. The design is bold and unadorned, consistent with the functional character of VOC trade coinage. |
