| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the vigorous late-medieval style typical of Netherlandish coinage. The lion is shown with raised forepaws, an open mouth, and an elaborately stylized mane and tail. The figure is contained within a plain inner circle, beyond which runs the Latin titular legend of Count William VI of Holland. The lettering is separated by trefoil or pellet stops and is struck in the characteristic irregular manner of hammered coinage of the period. |
