| Reverse description | The quartered coat of arms of the Counts of Heerenberg (van den Bergh), suspended from a winged and crowned tournament helmet (helm with mantling), displayed centrally in the field. The heraldic composition is rendered in the bold hammered style typical of mid-16th century Netherlandish seigneurial coinage. A Latin devotional legend surrounds the design, separated by star-shaped stops: DNS` ⋆ PROTECTOR ⋆ VITE ⋆ MEE ⋆ A ⋆ Qᐤ ⋆ TREPIDABO, a paraphrase of Psalm 27:1 declaring the Lord as protector and source of fearlessness. |
