| Obverse description | The central field depicts a dynamic battle scene from the Dutch War of Independence, showing infantry and cavalry in combat, with mounted soldiers clashing at the top and foot soldiers fighting below. The scene references the struggle against Spanish rule in the Dutch provinces. A circular legend surrounds the field, bordered by a beaded inner ring and a rope-twist outer rim. |
