| Obverse description | Central field depicts a figure, likely representing Frederick van den Bergh or a classical allegory, riding a two-wheeled chariot drawn by a rearing horse to the right, rendered in the vigorous Renaissance hammered style. The scene is set above a horizontal ground line, with the date 1579 partially visible in the lower exergue. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the abbreviated Latin legend MON H 1579 disposed along the upper periphery. The overall composition reflects the artistic conventions of late 16th-century Netherlandish coinage, with bold, high-relief die work characteristic of the 's-Heerenberg mint. |
