| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands facing left with head turned to the right, bearing a raised sword in his right hand. Behind the knight appears the crowned provincial coat of arms of Zeeland, displaying a lion emerging from waves. The peripheral legend encircles the design in Latin, with a rook mintmark denoting the Middelburg mint separating the inscription. The overall composition is characteristic of the bold, detailed engraving style employed by the Zeeland provincial mint in the late seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A central crowned shield bearing the Zeeland arms is surrounded by six smaller shields arranged in a circular composition, each representing one of the principal cities of the province: Middelburg (top), Zierikzee, Goes, Tholen, Vlissingen, and Veere (clockwise), with the family arms of the premier nobleman at the center. Flanking ribbon-like ornamental devices and denomination numerals frame the heraldic assemblage. The full Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by decorative floral rosette stops, and the date 1687 is prominently incorporated into the inscription. The reverse exhibits the elaborate multi-shield heraldic layout characteristic of Zeeland provincial coinage of this era. |
