| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a Gothic quatrefoil ornamental frame composed of four lobed arches with foliate terminals, enclosing a small heraldic shield bearing the arms of the House of Bergh at its center. The four cusps of the quatrefoil are adorned with fleurs-de-lis and decorative foliage in the late medieval tradition. A small heraldic charge, likely a lion passant, appears at the top of the inner frame. The surrounding legend, struck in Gothic lettering, reads + FLORENVS · DNI · MONTENSIS, identifying this as a florin of the Lords of Bergh (Montensis). The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and bold relief of hand-hammered gold coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Stevensweert was a tiny fortified island lordship in the Maas river, and its minting rights were exercised opportunistically during the chaos of the Eighty Years' War. Hermann Friedrich von Bergh had defected to the Spanish side in 1632 after a falling-out with the States-General, and this gold issue falls squarely within his brief, turbulent tenure as lord before Spanish-controlled Stevensweert was retaken by Dutch forces in 1633. The window for this coin's production was measured in months.
