| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner border, the crowned shield of West Friesland is centrally displayed, bearing two rampant lions above a couchant lion, the whole surmounted by an elaborate ornamental crown from which the date 1682 emerges to either side. The denomination mark '2 G' flanks the shield at mid-field. A circular Latin legend runs between the beaded border and the square klippe flan, reading continuously around the device. |
