| Obverse description | A fully armored knight stands in the field facing right, wearing a plumed helmet, his right arm raised with a drawn sword resting over the shoulder and his left hand holding a ribbon from which depends a crowned shield bearing the arms of Holland. The knight is depicted in a vigorous, classical late-Baroque style with fine detail in the armor articulation. The peripheral Latin legend is arranged around the entire circumference, separated by pellet stops. The design is characteristic of the Dutch provincial silver ducaton tradition, with the knight serving as the emblematic guardian of Holland's sovereignty. |

| Reverse description | At center, a large crowned shield bearing the lion rampant of the United Provinces — depicted holding a sword and a sheaf of arrows — occupies the field, with the date 1762 divided to either side of the shield in the lower portion of the field. A stately crown with elaborate floral and jeweled detailing surmounts the shield. The circumferential Latin motto legend runs around the periphery. The composition is bold and heraldically precise, consistent with Dutch Republican coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
