| Reverse description | A double-tailed rampant lion occupies the central field, holding the shield of arms of the Lordship of Bergh suspended by a cord, in a composition typical of sixteenth-century Netherlands feudal coinage. The heraldic lion is rendered with dynamic posture and detailed mane, consistent with the hammered die-work of the period. The encircling legend, abbreviated in the customary fashion, is contained between two beaded circles and records the full titulature of the issuing lord. The field is otherwise plain, with the armorial shield as the dominant device. |
