| Obverse description | Central field features a crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed, its wings spread wide and talons outstretched, bearing a shield at its breast charged with the arms of Batenburg. The eagle is rendered in vigorous hammered relief typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, reading MONETA NOVA ARGENTEA BATENBORGEN, separated from the eagle by an inner beaded or linear border. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape associated with hand-struck thalers of the period. |
