Daalder / 30 Stuiver Nijmegen

Nijmegen occupied an unusual position in the mid-sixteenth century Netherlands: an imperial city with direct ties to the Holy Roman Empire yet increasingly drawn into the economic orbit of the rebellious northern provinces. The city's daalder issues of the early 1560s predate the outbreak of the Eighty Years' War by only a few years, struck at a moment when municipal minting rights were being exercised aggressively across the Low Countries to meet a severe shortage of large silver trade coinage.

Van der Chijs documents three die varieties across the 1563–1565 span, suggesting continuous if not heavy production. Delmonte's attribution confirms the Gelderland regional classification.
