| Obverse description | An armored knight stands full-face within a sailing vessel, raising a sword in his right hand and displaying a heraldic shield in his left — a composition closely derived from the English rose noble type. Six provincial coats of arms are arranged along the ship's gunwale or stern, symbolizing the federated Dutch provinces. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the outer margin. The overall style is characteristic of late 16th-century hammered coinage produced by the rebellious Dutch provinces during the period of English intervention under the Earl of Leicester. |

| Reverse description | A radiant sun with alternating straight and wavy rays occupies the central field, enclosing at its center the fasces of bound arrows — the heraldic emblem of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. The motif is contained within a beaded inner circle, and the continuous Latin legend in the outer margin is interrupted by the date 1586. The composition reflects the numismatic iconography of the newly federated provinces asserting their collective sovereignty. |
