| Obverse description | Laureate and armored half-length effigy of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, facing right, brandishing a sword over his right shoulder while clutching a bundle of arrows in his left hand, emblematic of the union of the seven provinces. The legend, commencing with a rose mintmark, encircles the bust within the outer border. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous, slightly irregular style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Dutch hammered coinage, with visible double-striking typical of the period. |
