| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of a watchmaker's workshop interior, struck after an etching by Jan Luyken and his son Caspar (1694). Two figures are shown at a workbench, the foreground craftsman seated and working on a timepiece, surrounded by clocks and horological tools. The scene fills the entire field to the rim with no legend. |
