| Additional information |
Hendrik van Brederode minted these pieces at Vianen under the legal ambiguity of lordship coinage rights — a privilege the States General repeatedly challenged but never successfully revoked during his lifetime. Brederode exploited this gap aggressively, issuing silver on a scale that irritated both the Habsburg administration and neighboring minting authorities.
The Delmonte S designation signals a contested attribution; the vdCh references place these firmly within the Vianen sequence, but the absence of a Verkade number reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement about precise dating within the 1556–1568 window.
