| Obverse description | Crude hammered lead planchet bearing multiple applied stamps arranged around a central device depicting a lion atop a tower, characteristic of the civic heraldry of Oudewater. The surrounding stamps carry the Latin legend, the date 1575, and the denomination of 20 stuivers. The execution is rudimentary, reflecting the desperate circumstances of the siege, with the inscriptions and devices distributed irregularly across the heavily textured field. The overall design conveys the municipal authority of Oudewater asserting monetary legitimacy under extreme duress. |
