| Obverse description | Four-line Latin inscription filling the field, reading TRAIEC / TO·AE·HI / PANIS·OB / ·SESSO·, commemorating the Spanish siege of Maastricht. A horizontal line divides the inscription from the exergue, where the value is expressed in Roman numerals as 'I', denoting one stiver. The lettering is bold and crudely rendered, typical of hastily produced siege coinage. The overall appearance is irregular, reflecting the emergency nature of its manufacture by hammering. |
