Batenburg was a minor lordship on the Maas in Guelders, and its monetary output in the 1570s was largely opportunistic — small lordships across the Low Countries exploited the administrative chaos of the early Dutch Revolt to strike coins that technically met imperial weight standards while evading the oversight of the provincial mints. Hermann Dirk van Bronkhorst-Batenburg issued this daalder during precisely that window.
The Dav. 8575 reference covers the broader Batenburg daalder type; the "Rev. see" notation signals a reverse die variant not fully catalogued in Davenport's main sequence.
