| Obverse description | A fully armored standing knight occupies the center of the coin, depicted in three-quarter view holding a bundle of arrows — the symbol of the United Provinces — in his right hand, with the date divided on either side of the figure within a broken inner circle. The circumferential legend, rendered in Latin, runs along the coin's periphery and is interrupted by the privy mark at the end of the inscription. The overall style is characteristic of Dutch hammered gold coinage of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, with a slightly irregular flan typical of the period. |
