1 Crown - Herman Diederik van Bronckhorst

Batenburg was a small lordship on the Maas in Gelderland that exploited its semi-autonomous minting rights aggressively during the chaos of the Dutch Revolt, producing coinage well in excess of what its political stature would normally permit. Herman Diederik van Bronckhorst, who held the barony across the final decades of the sixteenth century, was among those minor lords who monetized the disorder of the period — issuing gold at a moment when the Spanish-controlled mints and the nascent Dutch republic were both struggling to maintain consistent supply.

The Delmonte and van der Chijs references place this type within a well-documented but thinly populated series of baronial gold from the eastern Netherlands.
