| Obverse description | Central field bears the abbreviated province name 'GELRIA' inscribed in two lines in bold Gothic-style Latin lettering, with the date 1614 displayed beneath in the lower field. The legend is framed by decorative stops and a cross ornament. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked, characteristic of hammered provincial coinage of the period. The overall design is typographic rather than pictorial, consistent with the austere style of Dutch provincial small silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left occupies the central field, depicted holding an upright sword in its right forepaw and a bundle of arrows in its left, emblematic of the Dutch Republic's armed provinces. The denomination numeral '1' appears to the left of the lion and the initial 'S' for Stuiver to the right, dividing the value across the field. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular shape and surface texture of hammered silver coinage, with a portion of the planchet broken away at the upper right. The lion's rendering is bold and stylized in the manner of late sixteenth- to early seventeenth-century Gelderland provincial dies. |
