| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing a heraldic shield surmounted by a long cross, the arms of the Lordship of Megen rendered in low relief in typical late-medieval hammered style. A partial circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device, running along the inner border of the coin. The flan is irregular and worn, with areas of verdigris patina consistent with long burial or circulation, characteristic of small billon issues of the Low Countries circa 1440. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John V of Megen issued these small billon penningen during a period when the lower Rhine lordships were minting aggressively to meet local exchange demand that larger regional powers were failing to supply. Megen itself was a modest lordship on the Maas, and its coinage rights were perpetually contested — the very act of striking was often a political assertion as much as an economic one.
Van der Chijs 8#3.18 places this type among a cluster of mid-fifteenth-century issues that are rarely encountered outside Dutch institutional collections.
