To commemorate the fact that on December 11, 1327, Reinald II, count of Gelre and Zutphen (the predecessor of the current polder district Over-Betuwe), entrusted the Office of the Over-Betuwe with the tasks of administration of justice and dike maintenance. To mark this occasion, the municipality issued an occasional coin in gold, silver and bronze. 240 gold, 2,100 silver, 10,178 bronze coins were created.

The reverse shows the old name of the polder district 'Ambt van de Over-Betuwe', the years 1327 and 1977, the coat of arms of the polder district, as it was granted by royal decree on December 21, 1951 and the value indication, expressed in Coninx-Tornoyse. 1 coninx tornoyse = 3.50 guilders
