| Obverse description | Armored bust of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, facing right, wearing a plumed helmet or cap, a ruffled collar, and elaborately engraved pauldrons, rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance style. The portrait occupies the majority of the obverse field, with fine detail in the hair, beard, and armor chasing. A beaded inner border frames the design, and the peripheral legend reads CONCORDIA· RES· PARVÆ· CRESCVNT· ZEL·, referencing the province of Zeeland. A small heraldic symbol appears at the end of the legend. |
