| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of the crowned duke Arnold of Egmont standing facing in the field, clad in armour and ducal robes, holding an upright sword in his right hand and an orb or shield in his left. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of late medieval Low Countries coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial script running between the inner and outer borders, punctuated by rosette or star stops. |

| Reverse description | A quatrefoil or four-lobed trilobe framework divides the field into four compartments, each containing a heraldic shield bearing the arms of the duke's territories: the lion of Gelderland, the eagle of Jülich, and the arms of Zutphen, arranged symmetrically around a central point. The lobed frame is rendered in a pointed Gothic style with cusped terminals. A beaded inner circle surrounds the armorial design, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial script running between the inner and outer borders, separated by star or rosette stops. |
