| Additional information |
Nijmegen held the status of a Free Imperial City under Charles V, and this gulden was struck during a period when the city jealously guarded its minting rights against the centralizing pressures of Habsburg monetary reform. The years 1523–1526 fall squarely within the currency disputes that would eventually strip many Netherlandish cities of independent coinage privileges entirely.
Delmonte's attribution places this among the rarer municipal gold issues of the Guelders region — city-struck gold from this period survives in far smaller numbers than contemporary provincial or imperial output.
