| Obverse description | Central quartered shield of Groningen, surmounted by an elaborate crown, with the denomination numeral '6' appearing to the left and 'S' (for Stuivers) to the right of the shield, dividing the value in the field. The date 1683 is split across the upper portion of the legend. A circular countermark, applied as a plug or stamp, is visible in the right field of the coin. The encircling Latin legend reads MO · NO · ARG · ORD · GRON ET OML, separated by lozenge stops, running along a milled or grained border. |

| Reverse description | A fully armoured knight on horseback charging to the right, brandishing an upraised sword in his right hand, rendered in a dynamic baroque style typical of Dutch provincial coinage of the late seventeenth century. The horse is depicted in a vigorous gallop with flowing mane and tail. A countermark consisting of a bundle of arrows — the symbol of the United Provinces — is applied to the reverse field. The surrounding Latin legend CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCVNT ('By concord small things grow') runs along the inner border of the coin. |
