| Obverse description | Detailed interior perspective view of the Synod of Dordrecht in session, depicting rows of delegates seated along tiered benches on either side of a central hall, with figures standing in the foreground and a decorated chairman's rostrum at the far end. The date 16|19 is divided at the lower sides of the standing foreground figures. The scene is rendered in fine engraved relief within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running around the outer border. |

| Reverse description | Central relief depicting a rocky Mount Zion rising from a stormy landscape, with a round domed temple at its summit. Above the temple, the radiating Tetragrammaton (divine name of Jehovah in Hebrew) shines from clouds. Four winds personified as crowned heads in clouds blow from the four corners, with windmill-like crossed swords or blast lines extending toward the mountain. Small figures of pilgrims attempt to ascend the steep rocky path. The scene is enclosed within a beaded inner circle with the Latin legend running around the outer border. |
