| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of Haarlem: a vertically oriented sword dividing the shield into two halves, each charged with two six-pointed stars arranged in pairs, the whole surmounted by a decorative scrolled crest issuing from the top of the shield. The date 1573 is split across the lower half of the shield, with '15' to the left and '73' to the right of the central sword. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the entire composition struck on a square klippe flan with chamfered corners. A small countermark or mint mark appears below the beaded border at the base of the coin. |
