| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length figure of Saint Andrew standing facing, robed in flowing drapery, holding a large saltire cross (crux decussata) diagonally across his body. A nimbus surrounds the saint's head, and the cross extends from lower left to upper right across the field. The figure is rendered in the late medieval Gothic style characteristic of Burgundian Netherlandish coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the circular legend occupying the outer field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles the Bold of Burgundy seized Guelders in 1473, deposing Duke Arnold and absorbing the duchy into his growing Burgundian state. The coinage that followed, including this gulden, was a direct instrument of monetary unification — Guelders was being brought into alignment with the broader Burgundian financial system whether its population welcomed it or not. Charles's death at the Battle of Nancy in January 1477 ended the occupation abruptly, and Guelders reverted to local rule under Charles of Egmond.
The four-year window of this issue makes surviving examples genuinely scarce. Most Burgundian-period Guelders gold was recalled or dispersed rapidly after 1477.
