| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized low-relief depiction of a Roman male head or bust, rendered in an abstract cartographic style with outlined facial features suggesting a mosaic or fragmentary archaeological find. The peripheral legend reads ROMEINENJAAR in the upper arc and HOUTEN 1997 along the lower arc, all in raised Latin lettering. The design commemorates the Roman Year (Romeinenjaar) celebrated by the municipality of Houten in 1997, referencing the area's Roman-era heritage. A raised rim borders the entire obverse. |
