A ship in full sail, with a curiously notched beak at her prow, is breaking the heavy chains drawn across the entrance of a port (Damietta). On each side is a fortress where waves the Turkish flag, and whence the enemy is showering down arrows. Over all is the motto of the city of Haarlem, VICIT VIM VIRTUS, the arms of the city occupying the Exergue.
Script: Latin
Lettering: VICIT VIM VIRTUS
Translation: virtue conquers violence (Latin)
Engraver: Daniël Drappentier
