| Aversbeschreibung | Crude bareheaded facing bust of Count Arnold V set within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the Gothic hammered style characteristic of Low Countries sterlings of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The bust displays schematic facial features with pronounced eyes, nose, and mouth, and is flanked by stylized shoulders. The surrounding legend, separated from the inner circle by a plain border, reads ✠ COMES ⁑ ARNOLDVS, identifying the issuer as Count Arnold. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A cross pattée extending to the beaded inner circle divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a group of three pellets arranged in a triangular formation in the angles of the cross. This arrangement closely follows the Edwardian sterling type widely imitated across the Low Countries during this period. The outer legend, running between the beaded inner circle and the coin's irregular edge, reads MONETA COMITIS, identifying this as the official coinage of the count. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Arnold V ruled Loon during a period when the county was caught between the competing ambitions of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the Duchy of Brabant. His sterlings were part of a broader Low Countries imitation coinage triggered by the commercial dominance of English sterling in regional trade — Flemish, Brabantine, and smaller lordships all struck types borrowing the format because English coin was simply trusted more than local issues. Arnold's adoption of his own name and title on the obverse rather than imitating the EDWARDVS or HENRICVS legend marks a degree of assertiveness unusual for a county of Loon's modest political weight.
