Beschrijving keerzijde A quartered coat of arms displayed within an ornate decorative frame, itself enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by two tournament helmets with elaborate mantling, reflecting the feudal heraldic tradition of the sixteenth-century Low Countries. The reverse legend, running along the coin's circumference, identifies the issuing lord and his titles. The heraldic composition is rendered in the bold, somewhat flat relief typical of hammered coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Henry III of Brederode acquired Vianen through inheritance and used its mint rights aggressively — partly as a political provocation. As one of the leading figures of the Compromise of Nobles and a vocal opponent of Spanish rule in the Low Countries, Brederode's decision to strike large silver coinage at Vianen during this precise window was not purely commercial. The lordship's semi-independent status gave him minting authority that the Habsburgs could not easily suppress, and he used it.

Brederode died in exile in 1568, the same year this issue ends.
