| Obverse description | Central field displays a rectangular shield bearing a rampant lion to sinister, surmounted by an open crown with visible arches and fleurons. The initials F and II flank the shield to the left and right respectively, denoting Emperor Francis II of Austria as sovereign of the Austrian Netherlands. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or milled inner border. The overall style is characteristic of hastily produced emergency coinage, with somewhat crude die workmanship and uneven relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination numeral 1 at the top of the field, followed by the large inscription SOL in the center, and the date 1795 beneath, all arranged in three horizontal lines occupying most of the field. A small Roman numeral I appears at the bottom, likely indicating a die or emission number. The legends are bold and deeply incuse in character, consistent with cast emergency issue production. The whole is surrounded by a toothed milled border mirroring that of the obverse. |
