| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a mounted knight in armour, shown at a gallop facing left — the classic 'rijder' (rider) type from which the coin derives its popular name 'Rijderschelling'. The horseman is rendered in bold relief, wearing a plumed helmet and raising a sword, with the horse shown in a prancing pose. The encircling Latin legend CONCORDIA RES · PARVAE · CRESCUNT · ('With harmony, small things grow') runs around the full circumference within a beaded border, reflecting the Dutch Republican civic motto. The composition and style follow the established convention of provincial Dutch rider coinage of the late 17th century. |
