Above the bell rests a crowned coat of arms flanked by two furled ship's flags. The surrounding field is filled with naval and military trophies including cannons, anchors, masts, and rigging. The engraver's signature I.G. HOLTZHEY FEC. appears below the bell, and the legend OP HOOG GEZAG is inscribed in a cartouche at the base. |
