On the medal, high, is presented a sword with a 'penning' on top between two ears, left a spectacle and flute, right 9 'penningen'. The text reads "EN TOVT FIDELLES AV ROY 1572". The medal partly struck weakly, the date is difficult to read. Reverse shows two nobles, one with beggars bowl and flask and the other with an oversized Geuzen medal. The text reads “IVSQVES A PORTER LA BESASE”. Because of the two texts this medal belongs to the category of Geuzen medals (it was also “reissued” in the 17th century, but struck on rolled silver plate). The symbolism "ears" refers to Alba, who should listen and spectacles is associated with the seize of Den Briel, the last may sound in Dutch as 'bril', i.e. 'spectacles'. Although fighting was already fierce, it still lasted 9 years before Philip II in 1581 was no longer acknowledged as sovereign by the 'PLACCAERT VAN VERLATINGHE'. The 9 plus one 'penningen' relate to the prohibited taxation of the “tiende penning”.
