| Obverse description | Within a reeded inner circle, the ornately decorated heraldic achievement of Wilhelm V von Bronckhorst is displayed prominently in the field, featuring a crowned and plumed tournament helmet surmounting the quartered baronial shield of Batenburg, flanked by elaborate foliate and scroll mantling. The shield bears multiple heraldic charges rendered in fine hammered relief. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by pellet stops and a decorative cross, runs between the reeded inner border and the irregular coin edge. |

| Reverse description | Within a reeded inner circle, two standing figures face one another in a scene depicting Christ and a Pharisee engaged in dialogue, rendered in a Renaissance figural style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. Christ, nimbed and robed, raises his right hand in a gesture of teaching or instruction, while the turbaned Pharisee stands opposite in rich attire, extending a coin toward Christ. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by pellet stops and a cross, alludes to the biblical passage on rendering to God and Caesar their due, running between the reeded inner border and the coin's outer edge. |
