| Reverse description | Central field displays the crowned coat of arms of Holland, featuring a rampant lion within a shield surmounted by a royal crown, rendered in low relief consistent with the hammered technique. The heraldic shield is centrally placed with the lion passant-rampant clearly visible despite the wear typical of circulated billon. A circular Latin legend with pellet stops surrounds the central device reading DVS · MIHI · ADIVTOR ·, a devotional inscription invoking divine assistance. The overall design is characteristic of the small-denomination coinage struck for the County of Holland under Philip II of Spain. |
