| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of West Friesland, featuring three rampant lions arranged in a divided shield surmounted by an ornate crown with floral finials. The denomination numeral '6' appears to the left of the shield and the denomination indicator 'S' to the right. A Latin circular legend runs within a beaded border, with the date 1716 incorporated into the inscription. The entire design is struck on a square klippe flan with reeded borders along all four sides, the corners of the planchet projecting boldly beyond the inner circular field. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a finely detailed three-masted Dutch man-of-war under full sail, depicted sailing to the left over stylized waves, with flags and pennants flying from the mastheads. The ship's hull, rigging, and gun ports are rendered with exceptional engraving detail characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age maritime tradition. A Latin legend encircles the central design within a beaded border, separated from the raised rim. The entire reverse is struck on the same square klippe flan as the obverse, with reeded edges framing the projecting corners of the planchet. |
