| Reverse description | Left-facing bust portrait of Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz in the lower left field, rendered in high relief with period costume featuring a ruffled collar. To the upper right, a three-masted sailing vessel is depicted beset in Arctic ice, with rocky ice formations in the middle ground and a polar bear walking at centre right, with a makeshift shelter visible behind it. The explorer's name 'WILLEM BARENTSZ' is inscribed in the upper left field, and the commemorative dates '1596 NOVA ZEMBLA 1597' appear in the lower centre, referencing Barentsz's Arctic expedition to Novaya Zemlya. |
