Obverse description Standing armored knight facing, in full military attire with a plumed helmet, holding a sword upright in the right hand and a bundle of arrows in the left, rendered in the Hungarian ducat tradition. The figure stands on a ground line within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads DEVS FORTITUDO ET SPES NOS (God is our strength and hope), interrupted by the knight's form and distributed around the periphery between two beaded borders. The overall design closely follows the Hungarian gold ducat type widely adopted by Dutch provincial mints in the late sixteenth century.
