The obverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a lion rampant wearing a crown and holding a sword in its right fore paw and seven arrows bound in its left fore paw, before fifteen shields, within a central beaded ring. The inscription around the outside reads 'KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN', 'Kingdom of the Netherlands', with the date below.
