Beschrijving keerzijde Central field featuring a large Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads turned outward and surmounted by a single Imperial crown, rendered in the robust hammered style typical of sixteenth-century Germanic coinage. The eagle's wings are spread wide, its feathers shown in detailed relief, and its talons are prominently depicted at the base. A shield or orb is positioned on the breast of the eagle. The surrounding Latin legend, running along the coin's periphery within a plain border, reads: CAROL ⋆ V ⋆ ROMANO ⋆ IMPE ⋆ SEMPER ⋆ AVGVSTVS, invoking the authority of Emperor Charles V as overlord under whose suzerainty this baronial coinage was struck.

Aanvullende informatie

Batenburg was a small lordship in Guelders that punched well above its political weight in the mid-sixteenth century by exploiting imperial minting rights with unusual aggression. William V issued coinage during a period when the Habsburg administration was actively attempting to suppress unauthorized or semi-authorized minting across the Low Countries — the Pragmatic Sanction of 1549 had tightened monetary regulation considerably, making issues like this one acts of deliberate jurisdictional assertion by a minor noble clinging to obsolescent privileges.

The barony was absorbed and its independent coinage effectively ended within a generation. Surviving half daalders from this issue are genuinely scarce in any grade.
