| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands in right profile, holding a sword upright in the right hand and a bundle of arrows in the left, symbolizing the unity of the Dutch provinces. A crowned shield bearing the arms of Friesland (noted as an error, as West Friesland's arms would be more appropriate) rests at the knight's feet. The figure is rendered within an inner beaded circle, with the provincial legend disposed in the surrounding field. The design reflects the standard Dutch Republic ducat type of the late seventeenth century, executed with fine milled precision. |
