| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands facing right, occupying the central field, holding an upraised sword in his right hand and a bundle of seven arrows in his left — the latter symbolizing the Union of Utrecht's seven provinces. The date is divided on either side of the knight's figure within an inner circle. The surrounding legend reads CONCORDIA · RES · PARVA · CRES · GEL with the date 1637, evoking the provincial motto of Gelderland. The design is rendered in the robust, high-relief hammered style characteristic of Dutch provincial gold ducats of the early seventeenth century. |
