| Additional information |
Deventer held the right to strike gold gulden under imperial authorization, but the city's issues from this period reflect the turbulent monetary politics of the Dutch Republic during the Twelve Years' Truce with Spain (1609–1621). The obverse type invoking Matthias as Holy Roman Emperor was a deliberate assertion of legitimacy — Deventer, an Overijssel city under States General jurisdiction, was navigating competing sovereign claims while maintaining its traditional minting privileges.
The .986 fineness places this among the purest gold coinages of the period, closely tracking Rhenish gulden standards.
