Reverse description Central device depicts a standing male figure, identified as David, shown in three-quarter view playing a harp, rendered in the archaic style typical of late sixteenth-century Netherlandish hammered coinage. Below the figure is a shield bearing the arms of Zeeland — a lion emerging from horizontal waves — flanked by the mintmaster's initials. The circumferential Latin legend DOMIN · SERV · NOS · PERIMVS runs along the inner border of the toothed rim, invoking divine protection for the province during the Dutch Revolt.
