Deventer held the right to strike gold only intermittently, and this 1488 emission came during a period when the city was navigating the competing pressures of Habsburgs overlordship under Frederick III and the entrenched commercial interests of the Hanseatic League, to which Deventer belonged. The dedication to Saint Lebuinus — the eighth-century Anglo-Saxon missionary who evangelized the Overijssel region from Deventer itself — was a deliberate assertion of civic identity through coinage.
Delmonte's G#1079 is among the scarcer Low Countries gold types of the period. The Deventer mint's output in gold was never large.
