| Obverse description | Crowned coat of arms of the city of Amsterdam centered in the field, flanking the date and the value expressed in Roman numerals. A soldering pot stamp (fire steel countermark) appears at one corner of the klippe flan, serving as an authentication mark of the city authorities. The design is characteristic of the hasty production typical of siege coinage, with a bold and functional style. |
