| Additional information |
Gottfried III von Dalenbrok held Heinsberg through a period of intense territorial pressure from the Duchy of Geldern and the Archbishop of Cologne, both of whom were actively contesting lordship rights across the lower Rhine region in the second half of the fourteenth century. Small silver issues like this one were practical instruments of that independence — minting rights being among the most jealously guarded prerogatives a minor lord could exercise.
Heinsberg passed to the Egmond family by inheritance in 1395, the closing bracket of this coin's production window.
