| Reverse description | A standing full-length figure of Pallas Athena, facing forward, clad in classical drapery and helmet, holding a spear or sceptre in her right hand and resting her left arm upon a Bible placed atop a column to her side. The allegorical composition symbolises wisdom and authority underpinning Dutch governance. The surrounding Latin legend is divided across the field, reading HAC NITIMUR HANC TUEMUR, meaning 'By this we strive, this we defend.' |
