| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned arms of Zeeland — a shield depicting a rampant lion emerging from waves, surmounted by an elaborate floral crown — with the date 1672 divided to either side of the shield. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery within a beaded border, identifying the coin as a new silver issue of the States of Zeeland. The design is executed in high relief consistent with piedfort striking, with well-defined details on both the crown and the heraldic shield. |

| Reverse description | A lion reclining to the left occupies the central field, its raised right paw supporting an upright spear topped by a liberty cap, the classic symbol of Dutch freedom. The figure is rendered with fine detail in the mane and body. A Latin legend encircles the design, divided by the spear shaft, with the Middelburg mintmark (tower symbol) positioned at the close of the legend. The overall composition reflects the standard allegorical imagery employed by the States of Zeeland during the Dutch Republic period. |
