| Reverse description | The denomination expressed in Roman numerals as II S (2 Stuivers) occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a scrolled ornamental border. A counterstamp of the Deventer city arms was applied to authenticate the piece as an official emergency issue. The overall execution is typical of hastily produced siege currency, with irregular striking and uneven surfaces. |
