| Obverse description | Central field features a fantastical heraldic coat of arms depicting a quartered shield with local Zaandam motifs, surmounted by a sword and supported by a rampant lion to the right. The design is rendered in relief within the inner bimetallic disc. The legend 'ZAANSE ROEBEL' curves along the lower portion of the outer ring in raised Latin letters. |

| Reverse description | Central inner disc bears a forward-facing bust portrait of Tsar Peter the Great of Russia, depicted with long curly hair and period dress, in a restrained neoclassical engraving style. The legend 'CZAAR PETER - ZAANDAM' arcs along the upper portion of the outer bimetallic ring, commemorating Peter's famous incognito visit to Zaandam in 1697. The commemorative date range '1697 - 1997' appears in the lower segment of the outer ring, marking the 300th anniversary of that historic visit. |
