| Reverse description | Crowned shield bearing the arms of Zeeland — a lion rampant emerging from a base of waves — occupying the central field. A small castle mintmark appears above the crown, flanking the date. The surrounding Latin legend incorporates the date of issue. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered provincial coinage of the Dutch Republic, with an irregularly shaped flan and uneven strike. |

| Additional information |
Zeeland's copper oord issues of the early seventeenth century were produced under the fractured monetary authority of the nascent Dutch Republic, where each province retained the right to strike its own coinage — a practical concession to provincial sovereignty that made standardization across the Union of Utrecht a persistent headache for merchants and money-changers alike. The four-year span of this type reflects ongoing negotiation rather than stable production.
