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.

Obverse lettering Niet doet my meer erbarmen In mijnen wederspoet. Dan datmen siet verarmen des Conincks landen goet. Dat u de Spaengiaerts crencken O Edel Neerlandt soet. 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.)
