| Additional information |
Rainald III of Guelders was captured at the Battle of Vlatten in 1361 and spent much of the following decade imprisoned, leaving his duchy in administrative limbo. His mother Marie of Brabant — daughter of John II of Brabant — governed as regent and issued coinage in her own name, which was highly unusual for a woman in the Low Countries at that period. This gulden belongs to that regency coinage.
The type follows the Franco-Flemish gold florin tradition then dominant across the region's princely mints.
