| Obverse description | Armored bust of William IV, Count of Bergh, facing left, occupying the central field. The surrounding legend is interrupted at four cardinal points by armorial shields: Bergh (top), Egmond (right), Culemborg (bottom), and Meurs-Saarweerden (left), each rendered in fine detail consistent with the hammered piedfort technique. The portrait displays characteristic late Renaissance heraldic styling with elaborately rendered armor. |
