| Reverse description | Bust of Saint Victor, patron and martyr of Batenburg, depicted in left-facing profile within a beaded inner circle. The figure is shown in clerical or armored dress with a hat, rendered in the crude but expressive style typical of minor lordship coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The portrait occupies the majority of the inner field, with fine detail visible in the facial features and garment folds despite the limitations of the hammering technique. The circumferential legend SANCTVS : VICTOR : MARTIR : D : BAT runs continuously in the outer field, separated from the central device by the beaded inner border. |
