| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned municipal arms of Groningen at center, comprising a quartered shield displaying horizontal bars and double-headed eagles, supported by foliate mantling. The date is divided at the top of the shield, with the year numerals appearing in the upper field flanking a decorative floral element. The denomination numeral 28 appears at the base of the shield within the circular legend. The peripheral Latin legend reads FLOR · ARG · CIV · GRONINGAE, running clockwise around the coin, identifying this as the silver florin of the city of Groningen. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large imperially crowned double-headed eagle displayed in the field, its wings spread wide and its two heads facing outward, each surmounted by a small crown beneath the single large imperial crown at the top. A cross-topped orb or sceptre is depicted on the breast of the eagle. The encircling Latin legend SIT · NOMEN · DOMINI · BENEDICTVM runs around the periphery, invoking the Biblical phrase 'Blessed be the name of the Lord.' The overall design reflects the strong imperial and Protestant civic imagery typical of late 17th-century Dutch provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Groningen's decision to strike its own florin-denomination silver in the early 1690s came amid persistent friction between the city of Groningen and the surrounding rural districts — the Ommelanden — who had long contested control over taxation, military contributions, and monetary policy within the province. The joint issuer designation reflects a political compromise rather than administrative harmony; the two parties were in near-constant dispute throughout the Dutch Golden Age.
The .673 fineness places this below the standard of the Dutch Rijksdaalder, a deliberate choice that kept the coins circulating locally rather than being exported or melted by arbitrageurs working the inter-provincial silver market.
