| Obverse description | Hollandia, helmeted and partially armored, stands facing in high relief at center, holding a staff surmounted by an eye in her left hand and a lance with a fan-shaped finial in her right; a lamb stands at her left and a lion reclines at her right. Her left foot treads upon the prostrate figure of Discord, a semi-nude gorgon-headed female figure. To the left in the field, British warships burn amid billowing smoke; to the right, Dutch warships sail at sea; the palace at Breda is visible in the middle distance behind her. The legend arcs across the upper field and the lower exergue bears the date and initials. |
