| Additional information |
John II ruled Luxembourg as a vassal of the Holy Roman Empire during a period when the duchy was essentially a pawn in the dynastic maneuvering between the houses of Luxembourg and Burgundy. These florins were struck while Philip of Saint-Pol held the county — John's authority was frequently nominal, and the coinage itself reflects competing monetary pressures from neighboring Burgundian issues that dominated regional trade circuits.
Delmonte G#393 is not commonly encountered in commerce, and examples in any meaningful state of preservation are genuinely scarce.
