| Reverse description | Draped bust of Saint Victor facing left in profile, depicted as a bearded bishop wearing an ornate mitre and richly decorated pontifical vestments adorned with rosettes, crosses, and foliate motifs rendered in fine hammered relief. The bust occupies the majority of the field and is rendered with considerable artistic detail for a billon issue of this period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, interrupted at the base, invoking the saint as bishop and patron of Batenburg. The reverse design reflects the ecclesiastical patronage tradition common to late medieval and early Renaissance Low Countries baronial coinage. |
