| 正面铭文 | MO × GERT × DE × BRO × ET × BAT × LI × DO × VI (Translation: Coinage of Gertrude of Bronckhorst-Batenburg, free Lord of Vianen) |
| 背面描述 | A rampant lion facing left, depicted in vigorous heraldic style, occupies the central field within a beaded or reeded inner circle. The lion, rendered in the tradition of the Low Countries leeuwendaalder type, displays raised forepaws and a pronounced curling tail. The date 1577 appears integrated within the surrounding Latin legend, which encircles the central device along the coin's periphery. The hammered fabric of the planchet imparts an irregular, slightly concave surface characteristic of sixteenth-century struck coinage. The overall design follows the established iconographic convention of the lion daalder series. |

Vianen was a tiny lordship wedged between Holland and Utrecht, and its mint was notorious among contemporaries for exploiting exactly that ambiguity. By striking oversized silver pieces that superficially resembled the authorized rijksdaalder but differed enough to avoid direct censure, the lords of Vianen generated hard currency on favorable terms while neighboring provinces fumed. The 1577 date places this squarely in the chaotic early years of the Dutch Revolt, when central monetary authority had effectively collapsed and minor lords could mint with near impunity.
Gertrude of Brederode held the lordship as regent following her husband's death, one of the few women in the Low Countries exercising direct seigneurial mint rights in this period. The Delmonte "var" designation signals a die variation not fully catalogued — likely a punch or legend difference from the primary type.
