| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered arms of Utrecht — displaying the checky pattern and rampant lions characteristic of the province — surmounted by an elaborate open crown with foliate finials. The denomination numeral '1' appears to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'G' to the right, flanking the escutcheon. The circular Latin legend is arranged around the periphery within a beaded border, reading clockwise from the upper right. The heraldic shield is rendered in fine relief typical of late seventeenth-century Dutch hammered coinage, with bold detail on the lion passant and the checky quarters. |

| Reverse description | A standing allegorical female figure, representing the Dutch Maiden (Hollandse Maagd) or Liberty, is depicted facing left in full length, draped in classical robes. She leans with her right arm upon a Bible resting atop a fluted column, on which the date 1681 is inscribed. In her left hand she holds an upright spear surmounted by a Liberty cap (pileus). The surrounding Latin legend is disposed within a beaded border. The composition is characteristic of late Dutch Republic provincial coinage of the seventeenth century. |
