| Reverse description | The crowned arms of the city of Amsterdam — a shield charged with three saltire crosses (the city's traditional triple-cross device) — displayed centrally and surmounted by an imperial crown. Two rampant lion supporters flank the shield on either side, facing inward. The circumferential legend, separated by a beaded border, reads ET CIVITATIS AMSTELREDAMENSIS, identifying the issuing municipality. The composition is characteristic of early Dutch mercantile coinage produced for trade in the East Indies. |
