| Reverse description | A circular wreath composed of laurel and floral branches, tied at the base, encloses the abbreviated Latin motto in three lines across the central field: P above AR · ET and FO below, reading PRO ARA ET FOCO (For altar and hearth). The wreath is bordered by an inner beaded circle, and the entire design is set against the plain flat field of the square klippe flan with clipped corners. The lettering is boldly struck in a plain Roman script typical of late 16th-century Dutch emergency coinage. |
