| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored knight standing to left with head turned to right, clad in full plate armor with an ornately crested helm, his right hand resting on a shield bearing a rampant lion, the shield dividing the encircling Latin legend. The figure is depicted in bold relief characteristic of Dutch provincial coinage of the early seventeenth century, with fine detailing on the armor's articulated plates and decorative drapery visible beneath the cuirass. The surrounding legend is separated by rosette or pellet stops and runs along the outer rim of the coin field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly rendered rampant lion passant-rampant to the left, with mane and tail elaborately detailed, set within a beaded inner circle. The date 1640 appears at the top of the field, flanking the lion's head within the beaded border. The encircling Latin legend runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer rim, punctuated by pellet stops, expressing a motto of faith and steadfastness. The overall design is typical of the Dutch Leeuwendaalder type struck for the Province of Gelderland throughout the seventeenth century. |

The leeuwendaalder was never intended for domestic Dutch commerce. It was engineered almost entirely for export, circulating through the Levant trade routes and across the Baltic, where merchants and foreign governments valued the consistent silver content over whatever denomination it nominally carried at home. The VOC and WIC moved enormous quantities eastward, and surviving examples with heavy wear often acquired it in Ottoman markets or along the Russian fur-trading networks rather than in Gelderland itself.
Gelderland was among the more prolific provincial issuers of this type across the seventeenth century, striking continuously under the authorization of the States-General despite periodic efforts to standardize output under a single national mint.
