Obverse description Divided shield bearing the quartered coat of arms of Hoorne at right (three hunting horns) and a floral device at left. A circular Latin legend occupies the upper portion of the shield, with the inscription WEERT appearing prominently in the field. The overall style is consistent with mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries seigneurial coinage produced by hammering.

Reverse description Divided shield bearing the coat of arms of Weert at right (a hook or gaff) and a rampant lion facing right at left. The date 1566 is inscribed in the upper portion of the shield. The execution is characteristic of hammered seigneurial coinage of the Spanish Netherlands period, with irregular flan preparation typical of the era.
