| Obverse description | Armoured and crowned bust of Henry II (the Saint), Holy Roman Emperor, facing right, holding an imperial sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left. The effigy is rendered in late-medieval hammered style with fine detail to the armour and imperial regalia. The legend is disposed between two pearled border circles surrounding the central portrait. The field shows characteristic uneven hammered surfaces typical of mid-16th-century Low Countries coinage. |

| Reverse description | A boldly rendered rampant lion to sinister (left), with flowing mane and raised forepaws, occupying the central field. Superimposed on the lion's body is a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the lordship of Brederode and Vianen, suspended from a decorative ribbon. The whole is enclosed within a pearled inner circle, with the abbreviated monetary legend disposed in the surrounding exergual band between the inner and outer beaded borders, as confirmed by the image. |

| Additional information |
Hendrik van Brederode minted these pieces at Vianen under the legal ambiguity of lordship coinage rights — a privilege the States General repeatedly challenged but never successfully revoked during his lifetime. Brederode exploited this gap aggressively, issuing silver on a scale that irritated both the Habsburg administration and neighboring minting authorities.
The Delmonte S designation signals a contested attribution; the vdCh references place these firmly within the Vianen sequence, but the absence of a Verkade number reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement about precise dating within the 1556–1568 window.
