| Obverse description | Coat of arms displayed within a beaded inner circle, with the initials AHR (for Adolphus Henry Rhinegrave) positioned above the shield. The heraldic device is rendered in the crude, flat style typical of small hammered bracteate coinage of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped at the rim, consistent with hand-cut silver of this denomination and period. |
