| Obverse description | Deeply sculpted naval scene depicting the Raid on the Medway (1667), with English warships ablaze and sinking on the River Chatham, smoke billowing dramatically across the field. A large Dutch vessel dominates the centre, while fortifications are visible on the right bank. Below the scene, a cartouche in relief bears the Dutch inscription commemorating the action under Admiral de Ruyter, with the date 'Anno 1667' inscribed above it. |
