1 Daalder - Frederick, Lordship of Bergh

The Lordship of Bergh occupied a strategically awkward position during the Dutch Revolt — nominally under Habsburg suzerainty but frequently pressured by both sides. Frederick van den Bergh's coinage of this period reflects that instability directly: small lordships with minting rights used them aggressively during the 1570s, partly to fund local defense and partly because the collapse of central authority made independent monetary action briefly tolerable. The window closed quickly.

Delmonte's listings for this type span three die variants, suggesting sustained if modest production across the issue years.
