| Reverse description | Central field features a crowned shield bearing the rampant lion of West Friesland, depicted with sword raised and a bundle of arrows, set within a cartouche surmounted by a provincial crown. The date appears in the lower field beneath the shield. The surrounding peripheral Latin legend reads CONCORDIA · RES · PARVÆ · CRESCVNT, the celebrated motto of the Dutch Republic. The overall composition is characteristic of the Dutch provincial coinage tradition, with the die-struck design displaying the bold but slightly irregular relief typical of hammered technique. |
