| Additional information |
The Lordship of Bergh occupied a strategically awkward position during the early years of the Dutch Revolt — technically a lordship within the Holy Roman Empire's borders yet deeply entangled in the politics of the rebellious provinces. Frederick van den Bergh, for whom this daalder type is attributed, came from a family that repeatedly shifted allegiances between Spain and the States as dynastic interests demanded. Coinage issued under such fragmented authority during 1577–1578 reflects the monetary chaos following the Pacification of Ghent, when local lords briefly reasserted independent striking rights.
Delmonte's S#607 designation places this among the scarcer peripheral issues of the period.
