| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the provincial name ZEELANDIA arranged in three lines across the field, reading ZEE / LAN / DIA, with the date below. The inscription is surrounded by a beaded border. The lettering is bold and irregular, consistent with hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. Dots serve as word separators within the legend. The overall design is typographic rather than figurative, with no central device other than the inscribed text. |

Zeeland's persistent issuance of these small billon pieces across the 1610s and 1620s reflects the province's stubborn monetary independence during a period when the nascent Dutch Republic had not yet achieved unified coinage standards. The nickname "Bezemstuiver" — broom stuiver — derives from the bundle of arrows motif that was popularly misread by common users as a broom, a reminder of how ordinary people interpreted official symbolism on their own terms.
Billon at .271 fine was low even by the relaxed standards of provincial petty coinage, and Zeeland drew repeated complaints from the States-General about substandard small silver flooding inter-provincial commerce.
