| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the host coin's primary design: a standing armored knight in full regalia, facing right, holding a sword upright in the right hand and a bundle of arrows in the left, symbolizing the United Provinces of the Dutch Republic. The date 1752 is inscribed in the field between the knight's legs. The circular Latin legend reads CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT, referencing the provincial motto of Holland. The Portuguese countermark MR — applied under royal authority of King José I for circulation in Mozambique — is struck in the left field of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of the host Dutch ducat displays a tablet or cartouche framed by elaborate foliate scrollwork and ornamentation, bearing a five-line Latin inscription in the field. The inscription reads MO ORD / PROV / FOEDE / BELGA / LEG IMP, an abbreviation for Moneta Ordinum Provinciarum Foederatarum Belgicarum ad Legem Imperii, meaning 'Coin of the Federated Belgian Provinces according to Imperial Law.' No Portuguese countermark appears on this face. The overall composition is characteristic of the standard Holland ducat trade coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
