| Obverse description | Half-length cuirassed bust of Henry of Brederode facing left, holding a plumed tournament helmet in his right hand. A small escutcheon bearing the Brederode arms is placed at the top of the field, with additional heraldic shields dividing the encircling Latin legend at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The portrait is rendered in the mannered Renaissance style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Netherlandish die-cutting, with fine detail in the armor's surface decoration. The peripheral legend reads NISI DOMINVS FRVSTRA, a motto drawn from Psalm 127. |
