| Obverse description | Bare-headed, armoured bust of William II, Prince of Orange, facing right, with long flowing hair falling to the shoulder and elaborately engraved pauldron and gorget visible at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in a bold, baroque style characteristic of mid-17th-century French feudal coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads GVILLEMVS·D:G·PRIN·AVR·, separated from the portrait by a plain inner field. The coin border is defined by a finely toothed grènnetis running around the entire periphery. |
