| Obverse description | The obverse features a wreath of laurel and olive branches encircling the field, surmounted by a royal crown in relief at the top. The central field contains eight lines of Gothic-script verse in Dutch, being the eleventh stanza of the Wilhelmus, the Dutch national anthem. Two small mint or maker's marks appear at the base of the wreath. |

Als ick daer aen ghedencke Mijn Edel hert dat bloet. (Translation: Nothing so moves my pity As seeing through these lands, Field, village, town and city Pillaged by roving hands. O that the Spaniards rape thee, My Netherlands so sweet, The thought of that does grip me Causing my heart to bleed.) |
