Crude bust of the Count facing right, depicted in a stylized, archaic manner with a radiate or spiked crown or helmet rendered in bold strokes. The portrait is executed in a rudimentary hammered style typical of 12th-century Flemish and Holland coinage, with minimal facial detail. No legend or inscription surrounds the effigy. The field is flat and unadorned, with the design occupying most of the flan. |

A plain Greek cross centered on the flan, with a six-pointed star or mullet placed in each of the four quarters formed by the cross arms. The design is enclosed within a beaded or pearled border circle, giving the reverse a neat, structured appearance despite the irregular flan. No legend or lettering is present. The hammered technique results in slight unevenness in the depth of the cross and stars across the coin's surface. |

Dirk VI came to power as a minor under the regency of his mother Petronilla of Saxony, and his reign saw Holland consolidate its position against persistent pressure from the Bishop of Utrecht. Coinage of this period from the county is exceptionally scarce — output was low, fractions like the obol rarer still, and survival across nine centuries brutal. At 0.25g, loss through handling alone could reduce a coin to an unidentifiable sliver.
