Obverse description Central shield bearing the ninefold arms of Zeeland province, set within an elaborate ornate cartouche frame, with the date prominently displayed above within an inner circle. The peripheral legend is divided at the bottom by the denomination numeral flanked by clover stops, with the Middelburg mint mark (tower) positioned at the legend's end. The overall composition reflects the Renaissance heraldic style characteristic of early Dutch Republic provincial coinage.

(Translation: Silver coinage of Zeeland Province 20 Groats)
Reverse description A boldly rendered imperial double-headed eagle displayed with wings spread, the two heads facing outward in profile and surmounted by an elaborate crown above; the shield of Zeeland — bearing horizontal wavy barry stripes — is superimposed on the eagle's breast within an inner circle. The surrounding peripheral legend reads SI * DEVS * NOBISCVM * QVIS * CON * NOS, a scriptural motto proclaiming divine protection, separated by star-shaped stops. The strong relief of the eagle's plumage and the deeply struck heraldic breast shield are characteristic of the Arendsdaalder type struck at the Middelburg mint.
