| Obverse description | Five lines of abbreviated Latin text in the field, enclosed within a raised wreath border composed of laurel branches tied at top and bottom. The inscription reads NVMMVS / OBSES VRB / LVGDVNS VB / GVB ILL PRIN / AVRACVS, identifying this as the siege coin of the city of Leiden issued under the governance of the illustrious Prince of Orange. The lettering is rendered in a Roman capital style typical of the period, and the overall composition reflects the urgent, hand-fashioned nature of this emergency issue. |
