| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned provincial arms of Zeeland: a shield bearing a rampant lion emerging from stylized waves, symbolizing the maritime character of the province. The denomination numeral '6' appears to the left of the shield and 'ST' to the right. The encircling Latin legend reads 'MON · NOV · ARGEN · ORDIN · ZELAND · 6 ST', with the date 1755 positioned at the top of the coin above the crowned shield. The overall design is rendered in a bold, milled style typical of Dutch provincial coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a full-rigged Dutch East Indiaman sailing ship at sea, shown in right profile with multiple masts, billowing sails, flags, and visible rigging. Waves are rendered beneath the hull, and the Middelburg mint mark (♜) appears on the hull of the vessel. This celebrated 'scheepje' (little ship) motif is the hallmark design that gives the coin its popular name 'Scheepjesschelling'. The circular Latin legend 'ITA RELINQVENDA UT ACCEPTA' surrounds the ship, reading from lower left around the upper field. |
