| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a crowned quartered heraldic shield bearing rampant lions in three quarters and a checkered pattern in the fourth, representing the combined arms of Bronckhort-Batenburg and Vianen. The shield is surmounted by a closed crown. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, reading MO × GERT × DE × BRON × ET × BA × LI × DO × VI × TRIGs, attributing the coinage to Gertrude of Bronckhort-Batenburg, free Lady of Vianen, valued at thirty stuivers. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a Wild Man (wodewose) standing facing, his body covered entirely in shaggy hair, holding a large uprooted tree trunk or club in his left hand. To his right, a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Vianen is supported by a serpent or dragon. The date 1577 appears in the upper field flanking the legend. A continuous Latin motto legend surrounds the central design within a beaded border: × IN × SPE × ET × SILENTIO × FORTITVDO × MEA × 1577 ×, translating as 'In hope and in silence is my strength', a personal device of Gertrude of Brederode. |
