| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold numeral '2½' dominating the left field, with the date 1998 inscribed to its left. To the right, two of Schiedam's iconic tall grain windmills are depicted in detailed relief, their sails and cap structures clearly rendered. The municipal coat of arms of Schiedam — featuring a crowned shield with crossed keys — appears in the lower centre field. The legend SCHIEDAM runs along the lower portion of the coin in large capital letters, with EURO inscribed alongside the denomination in the central field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the decorative memorial stone of the windmill 'De Drie Koornbloemen', featuring an ornate Baroque-style cartouche with scrolling volutes framing a centrally placed cornflower plant in bloom — the heraldic emblem of the mill. The composition is enclosed within a border of alternating beaded and radial line segments that encircle the entire field. The legend DE DRIE KOORN BLOEMEN is inscribed in two lines across the lower centre, with the founding year 1770 directly below. |
