| Reverse description | Central quartered coat of arms of the House of Brederode, elaborately rendered within acanthus-scroll mantling, surmounted by two crested tournament helmets bearing a crowned lion and a pair of buffalo horns respectively. The lower portion of the shield is flanked by additional decorative scrollwork, with two boars' heads visible as supporters or crest elements flanking the base. The encircling Latin legend, divided by small armorial shields, identifies the issuer as Henry, Lord of Brederode and Vianen. The overall heraldic composition is characteristic of high-quality sixteenth-century hammered coinage from the Dutch lordships. |

| Additional information |
Henry III of Brederode held Vianen as a semi-autonomous lordship under nominal Habsburg suzerainty, a status he exploited aggressively. His daalders were struck during the precise years when Philip II's fiscal and religious policies were driving the Low Countries toward open revolt — Henry himself would become one of the founding signatories of the Compromise of Nobles in 1566, the petition that directly triggered the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt. Coins bearing his name circulated among a population that was, by the end of this issue period, actively at war with the authority that was supposed to oversee him.
Henry died in exile in 1568, the lordship's independent coinage ending with him.
