| Obverse description | A fully armoured knight stands facing right within a beaded inner circle, holding an unsheathed sword upright in his right hand and resting his left hand upon a shield bearing the provincial arms of Zeeland. The provincial coat of arms rests at his feet. The date appears in the legend, which runs along the outer periphery in Latin capital letters. The design is characteristic of the Dutch provincial silver ducat type, rendered in a robust Baroque style typical of mid-seventeenth-century Netherlands minting. |

| Reverse description | The crowned arms of the Dutch Generality — a rampant lion within a shield — occupy the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The heraldic lion is depicted passant-rampant, facing left, within a quartered or plain shield surmounted by an elaborate crown whose arches are visible above. The mint mark of the Middelburg mint appears above the crown. The surrounding circular legend in Latin capital letters runs along the full circumference within a beaded border, with ornamental stops separating the words. |
