| Obverse description | Obverse of the host coin, a Zeeland stuiver of 1682, struck at the Middelburg mint. The field displays the denomination numeral '1' to the left of a crowned rampant lion, the provincial arms of Zeeland rendered in low relief in the hammered style. The abbreviated mint signature and date '1682' appear in the lower portion of the field. The legend reads I ♜ S ZEE LAN DIA, identifying the issuing province of Zeeland, with pellet stops separating the legend elements. The overall strike and flan are characteristic of late seventeenth-century Dutch provincial billon coinage, showing the irregular planchet typical of hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Zeeland stuiver, displaying a crowned female figure personifying the province of Zeeland, shown in bust form facing right and wearing a plumed helmet or crown, with wavy lines beneath representing the sea — a reference to Zeeland's maritime identity expressed in the provincial motto 'Luctor et Emergo' (I struggle and emerge). The figure is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude low-relief style typical of hammered billon provincial coinage of the late seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. The flan edges are irregular and clipped, consistent with hammered production of this period. |
