| Opschrift voorzijde | HENRICVS DOMINVS DE BL DNS V (Translation: Henry Lord of Brederoede and Lord of Vianen) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | An elaborate floriated cross occupying the central field, its four arms terminating in fleurs-de-lis and adorned with foliate scrollwork and pellets in the angles, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A lion's head device appears at the centre of the cross. The devotional Latin legend in uncial script encircles the entire design between beaded borders, invoking the sovereignty of Christ in the traditional tripartite formula. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vianen was a tiny lordship wedged between Utrecht and Holland, and its mint operated largely because Reinoud III van Brederode — Henry's father — had fought hard to maintain minting rights against persistent pressure from the Habsburgs. Henry inherited both the title and the legal battle. The lords of Vianen exploited every ambiguity in Imperial minting law to keep striking gold, often producing ecus that closely tracked French and Burgundian weight standards to ensure merchant acceptance far beyond their borders.
Delmonte lists this type as genuinely scarce. The Brederode line died out in the male line with Henry himself in 1568.
