| Obverse description | Tall, three-quarter-length armored effigy of Henry III of Brederode facing right, depicted in Renaissance plate armor with elaborate pauldrons and gorget, his bearded head bare and turned to the right. The lord holds what appears to be a sword or baton in his gauntleted hands, with a coat of arms or shield visible in the lower field. The surrounding legend, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border, reads NISI DOMINVS FRVSTRA, the Calvinist motto drawn from Psalm 127, interspersed with rosette stops. The bold, high-relief hammered portraiture reflects the Renaissance medallic tradition typical of sixteenth-century Netherlandish coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborate quartered heraldic achievement of the Brederode-Vianen lordship, comprising a multi-quartered shield displaying the arms of Brederode, Vianen, and associated territories, surmounted by a crested helm with ornate mantling issuing to either side. Two rampant supporters flank the shield, and foliate or decorative elements fill the surrounding field. The circumferential legend, separated by a beaded border, reads MONE NO HEN DO D BRED LI D VIAN, identifying this as the new money of Henry, Lord of Brederode and free Baron of Vianen. The overall composition is characteristic of the grand heraldic daalder type produced by independent Netherlandish lordships in the mid-sixteenth century. |
