| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of a cooper at work, striking a hoop onto a wooden barrel with a mallet, wearing a period apron and cap. A wooden hoop lies on the ground in the foreground, while a second figure works in the background amid trees and a building. The scene is minted after an etching by Jan Luyken and his son Caspar Luyken, first published in 1694. |
