Obverse description A fully armored knight stands facing right in the center of the field, his figure dividing the date on either side. In his raised right hand he holds an upright sword, while his left hand grasps a bundle of seven arrows, symbolizing the union of the seven Dutch provinces. The circumferential legend reads CONCORDIA RES PAR · CRES · HOL, identifying the issuing province of Holland and invoking the motto of unity.

Reverse description The reverse presents a five-line Latin inscription — MO · ORD · PROVIN · FOEDER · BELG · AD LEG · IMP · — set within a rectangular tablet framed by an elaborate baroque cartouche. The frame is richly adorned with symmetrical scrollwork, foliate ornaments, and floral bosses at the corners and along the borders, all rendered in high relief. The inscription declares the coin's authority as the monetary issue of the federated provinces of the Netherlands, struck according to imperial ordinance. The composition is centrally placed with no peripheral legend, the field entirely occupied by the ornate tablet.
