| Reverse description | The central device depicts a classical arched gate or portico with flanking columns, surmounted by a pediment with figures, representing the city of Ostend under siege; above the gate an armored arm emerges from clouds brandishing a sword, with a Hebrew inscription to the upper right. The date 16-02 is divided across the lower field to either side of the gate, and the Latin legend encircles the whole within a beaded border. |
