| Obverse description | Armored knight standing facing, holding a bundle of arrows in the right hand and a sword upright in the left hand, with a plumed helmet. The value numeral '1' appears in the field to the lower left of the figure. A partial circular legend surrounds the design, reading CONCORDIA.RES - AR.CRES.GEL, referencing the Gelderland provincial motto. The strike is characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the late sixteenth century, with irregular flan and raised design elements. |
