The text in the central plaque is significantly faded and difficult to read.

An engraved map of Amsterdam, displaying the city's iconic semicircular layout centered on its concentric rings of canals. The outer edge is lined with a series of bastioned fortifications. The Amstel River is shown entering the city from the upper left. At the bottom, the waterfront (the IJ) is filled with numerous sailing vessels of various sizes. In the upper right corner, an inset vignette depicts a group of men in 17th-century dress gathered around a table; the scene is framed by a draped curtain bearing the coat of arms of Amsterdam (a vertical band with three Saint Andrew's Crosses). The map's title is presented on a decorative banner at the bottom center, above an inscribed stone plaque.
