| Obverse description | A fully armored knight on a prancing horse advancing to the right, brandishing a drawn sword aloft in his right hand; below the horse, the crowned arms of Zeeland appear in the field. The dynamic equestrian figure is rendered in high relief in the milled gold tradition of the Dutch provincial coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, with a castle mintmark (Middelburg) incorporated within the legend. |
