| Additional information |
Reckheim was a tiny imperial lordship on the Meuse, perpetually overshadowed by its larger neighbors Liège and Maastricht, yet its lords exploited their immediate subordination to the Emperor to issue coinage of full taler weight — a privilege most lordships of comparable size never secured or quickly lost. William of Vlodrop held the lordship from 1545 until his death in 1558, and this daalder was struck in the name of Charles V during the emperor's final years of reign before his abdication at Brussels in October 1555. Whether production continued briefly into the nominal overlap with Philip II's rule is unresolved, which accounts for the span given in the dating.
