| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of West Friesland — a rampant lion on a shield surmounted by a provincial crown — flanked by the date 1693 divided across the lower field. The circumferential legend reads CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCVNT, running along the inner border of a finely toothed rim. The die is characteristic of the hammered coinage produced at Hoorn for the States of West Friesland, showing the bold if slightly irregular strike typical of late seventeenth-century Dutch provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | Standing draped female figure of the Maid of Holland (or provincial Liberty), facing slightly left, holding a hat on a lance in her raised right hand and a bundle of arrows — symbol of the union of the seven provinces — in her left arm, with a shield at her side. The date 1694 appears in the exergual area beneath the figure. The encircling legend HAC NITIMVR HANC TVEMVR runs along the border within a toothed inner rim, and the whole composition is rendered in the vigorous but somewhat crude style typical of hammered Dutch provincial thalers of the period. |
