| 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. |
