| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consists of a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Duchy of Gelderland, surmounted by an arched royal crown with cross finial. Below the shield, the collar and pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece is suspended, with the fleece clearly visible at the base. The shield is set within a circular legend in Latin capitals. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hammered production, and the relief of the arms shows moderate detail characteristic of late sixteenth-century Dutch provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gelderland was among the most militarily exposed of the rebel provinces during the early 1590s, with Spanish forces under Parma operating aggressively along its borders. The province struck these heavy silver pieces partly to meet urgent payroll demands for garrison troops — soldiers who would not wait for coin from Holland or Zeeland to arrive.
The "Bourgondische kruis" type draws on coinage conventions inherited from Habsburg Burgundian rule, a deliberate act of monetary continuity at a moment when the Republic had no unified mint authority. Gelderland's provincial mint at Arnhem was asserting its own issuing prerogative, a persistent source of friction with the Generality.
