| Obverse description | Central device features the crowned arms of Holland — a shield bearing a rampant lion holding a sword — surmounted by an elaborate crown with trefoil finials. The denomination numeral '3' appears to the left of the shield and the letter 'G' (for Gulden) to the right. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery, divided by the crown, reading 'MO : ARG : ORD : FŒD : BELG : HOLL :' with the denomination repeated as part of the legend. The coin's border is formed by a continuous ring of beading. |

| Additional information |
The Batavian Republic was proclaimed in January 1795 following the French-backed Patriot revolution that expelled the Stadtholder Willem V, who fled to England. Holland, the wealthiest of the former Dutch provinces, continued issuing coinage under its own provincial authority during this transitional period — the new republic's centralized monetary system took years to impose itself over entrenched provincial minting traditions. This coin is a direct product of that administrative inertia.
The KM#9.2 designation distinguishes it from the earlier 9.1 variety by differences in the legend spacing and die arrangement documented by Delmonte.
