| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborately helmeted and mantled quartered coat of arms of the Brederode family, with the date divided across the lower portion of the shield. The achievement is surmounted by a crested helm with flowing lambrequin ornaments flanking the shield on both sides. The date numerals 1 and 561 appear to the left and right of the shield's base respectively, completing the year 1561. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the circular Latin legend in the outer ring. The overall composition is executed in the vigorous, decorative Renaissance heraldic style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large, imperially crowned double-headed eagle displayed in the centre of the field, with wings spread and talons visible at the base, rendered in the bold hammered style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Habsburgian coinage. A single imperial crown surmounts the two heads, emphasising the Holy Roman Emperor's authority invoked on the coin. A beaded inner border frames the central eagle device and separates it from the surrounding circular Latin legend. The legend names Emperor Ferdinand I and runs continuously around the outer ring of the reverse. The overall design closely follows the standard imperial eagle type used across Habsburg-affiliated territories of the period. |
