Obverse
Crowned mid-length figure in a gothic doorway, holding sword in right hand, shield with Wevelinghoven arms below him
Script: Latin
Lettering: FLOREN : EPC : TRAIECT'
Unabridged legend: Florentius Episcopus Traiectensis
Translation: Floris, bishop of Utrecht
Reverse
Two conjoined shields with imperial eagle and Wevelinghoven arms, inside a hexilobe inscribed with arches and with trefoils in the external angles
Script: Latin
Lettering: ✠ MOnETA ⸰ nOVA ⸰ FLOREnI ⸰ REnEnS
Unabridged legend: Moneta Nova Florenis Renensis
Translation: New florin coinage of Rhenen
Mint
Rhenen, Netherlands (1393-1455)Comments
Possibly the reverse legend employs a double entendre of the ruler's name and the denomination (florin). So another possible translation is "Floris' new coinage of Rhenen."
