Aanvullende informatie

Batenburg was a tiny lordship on the Maas in Gelderland, and its coinage rights were a persistent source of friction with the surrounding Duchy of Gelre and later Habsburg authority. Wilhelm V von Bronckhorst exploited those rights aggressively during his tenure, striking ducats that circulated well beyond what the barony's modest political standing would ordinarily have warranted. The fineness conforms to the 1559 imperial ducat standard, which gave these pieces practical acceptance in trade even as Batenburg's autonomy was effectively a legal fiction by the 1560s.

The barony was demolished by Spanish forces in 1599, ending any remaining institutional memory of its mint.
