| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands facing left with head turned to the right, his helmet adorned with a prominent plume. In his right hand he holds a ribbon, while behind him appears the crowned coat of arms of Holland. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running along the outer border terminating with the mint mark of Dordrecht. The engraving is rendered in the bold, detailed style characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left dominates the central field, depicted with curling mane and raised forepaw in the characteristic Dutch heraldic style, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The date appears in the upper portion of the outer legend, which runs continuously around the coin. The bold, high-relief rendering of the lion gives the type its popular name, Leeuwendaalder (lion dollar), and the design served as a widely recognized trade coin throughout the seventeenth century. |
