| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left, grasping a pole surmounted by a Liberty cap, a classic symbol of Dutch independence and resistance against Spanish rule. The date 15-74 is divided on either side of the lion's body within a circular inner border, which is topped by a crown at its apex. The composition is bold and emblematic, reflecting the iconographic language of the Dutch Revolt, with the Liberty cap motif underscoring the political significance of this siege coinage issued during the Spanish siege of Leiden in 1574. |
