| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned shield of Overijssel occupying the central field, surmounted by a large provincial crown with prominent fleurons and decorative detailing. The shield bears the traditional Overijssel arms, depicting a rampant eagle or lion device characteristic of the province's heraldic tradition. The shield is flanked by decorative supporters or drapery elements rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style. No peripheral legend is present on the reverse, leaving the field plain around the armorial device. The overall composition is typical of the small provincial copper duits struck for the Dutch Republic during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. |

| Additional information |
Overijssel's duit production in 1702–03 fell squarely within the chaotic final years of the Nine Years' War's financial aftermath and the opening pressures of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Dutch provincial mints routinely struck duits to differing weight standards, and Overijssel was among the less consistent issuers — leading to repeated complaints from merchants about substandard copper coinage flooding local markets.
CNM cataloguing distinguishes this type from visually similar issues by other provinces primarily through mint mark and die analysis rather than any immediately obvious physical difference.
