| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the crowned arms of Utrecht — a shield bearing a rampant lion passant guardant holding a sword — surmounted by an ornate royal crown with floral finials. The denomination numeral '3' appears to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'GL' to the right, flanking the central device. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading 'MO : ARG : ORD : FŒD : BELG : TRAI', identifying this as silver coinage of the federated provinces of the Netherlands struck at Utrecht. The heraldic design is executed in bold relief characteristic of late Dutch Republic minting tradition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a standing draped female allegorical figure — the Maid of Utrecht — shown in three-quarter view facing left, holding a long staff or spear in her raised right hand and resting her left hand upon an ornately decorated pedestal or altar bearing the arms of Utrecht. The figure is rendered in the classical Baroque style with flowing robes. The date '1795' appears in the lower exergue. The surrounding Latin legend 'HAC NITIMVR HANC TVEMVR' (meaning 'On her we lean, her we defend') encircles the design, with beaded borders visible along the rim. |
