| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint Stephen, protomartyr, depicted standing facing in full length, clad in ecclesiastical robes with a nimbus about his head. He holds a palm frond in one hand, the traditional martyr's attribute, and a cluster of stones in the other, referencing his death by stoning. The figure is rendered in the Gothic-influenced style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries hammered gold coinage. A beaded border frames the central image, with the circumferential Latin legend identifying the saint running around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wilhelm V von Bronckhorst inherited Batenburg at a moment when the Low Countries were fracturing under Spanish Habsburg pressure, and small lordships like Batenburg exploited the resulting administrative chaos to issue gold coinage well above their nominal authority. The right to strike gold was jealously guarded by the Habsburgs; that Batenburg did so anyway reflects either a tacit arrangement or outright defiance.
Delmonte G#683 is among the scarcer baronial gold issues of the Dutch States series. The survival rate for Batenburg gold is low — the lordship was absorbed and its independent minting ceased entirely before the Dutch Revolt resolved anything.
