| Obverse description | A large three-masted merchant vessel under full sail moves to the left across choppy seas, with two additional ships visible in the background. Below the scene, the arms of West Friesland are displayed in relief, flanked by the date 1617. The circumferential Latin legend is separated from the inner field by a beaded border. |
