| Additional information |
William IV of Bergh ruled a small but strategically positioned lordship on the eastern edge of the Low Countries, close enough to the duchy of Gelre to matter in the dynastic maneuvering of the mid-sixteenth century. The Bergh family held the right to strike coin — a privilege that became increasingly contested as Habsburg consolidation tightened across the Netherlands. Issuing a daalder-weight piece was a deliberate assertion of that right, not an economic necessity.
Production across a twenty-year window almost certainly reflects interrupted rather than continuous minting, tied to political pressure from Brussels.
