| Additional information |
Nijmegen held the status of a Free Imperial City under Charles V, and this double ducat was struck just two years after his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in Aachen — a moment that fundamentally reordered the political geography of the Low Countries. The city's right to mint gold coinage was a jealously guarded privilege, and issues of this denomination from Nijmegen are rare precisely because production runs were small and the coins left circulation quickly, absorbed into hoards or melted.
The Delmonte and Friedberg references both treat this type as a major rarity within the Guelders regional series.
