| Obverse description | The provincial name ZEELANDIA is inscribed across the field in four lines of bold Roman capital letters, reading 'I S / ZEE / LAN / DIA', with the Middelburg mint mark (a crowned tower) positioned above the first line. The date 1727 appears in the lower field, flanked by pellets on either side. The entire design is surrounded by a reeded or milled border, consistent with the piedfort format. No effigy or additional decorative elements are present; the inscription itself serves as the primary design element. |

| Reverse description | The arms of Zeeland occupy the full field: a rampant lion emerging from three horizontal barry wavy lines representing the sea, rendered in high relief consistent with the piedfort's substantial flan. The lion is depicted with its forepaws raised and tongue extended, rising from the waves in the traditional Zeelandic heraldic manner ('luctor et emergo' — I struggle and emerge). The design fills the field to the milled border without a surrounding legend, with no exergue. The bold, deeply struck relief is characteristic of piedfort production at the Middelburg mint. |
