| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of a mounted general on horseback, sword raised and pointing forward, rendered after Pauwels van Hillegaert's painting of the 1629 siege of 's-Hertogenbosch. In the background, the skyline of the city with the silhouette of the cathedral is visible amid smoke, with tent encampments and earthworks in the middle ground. The design fills the entire field with no surrounding legend. |
