| Obverse description | Central device depicts a highly detailed crab in full frontal view, its carapace bearing the inscription BOZ 700 in stylised lettering, with spread claws extending toward the rim. The dates 1287-1987 appear below the crab, commemorating the 700th anniversary of Bergen op Zoom's city charter. The legend KRABBENDAALDER curves along the upper periphery, while BERGEN OP ZOOM arcs along the lower periphery, both separated from the central motif by a beaded inner border. The overall design references the heraldic crab, a traditional symbol of the city of Bergen op Zoom. |
