Gulden 'Burgundian' - Philip the Good

Philip the Good's monetary reforms of the 1460s were driven by a persistent problem: the fragmented coinage of the Burgundian Netherlands made trade across his territories a logistical headache, with each county and duchy operating under different standards. The gulden issued under his authority for Holland was part of a broader push to harmonize weight and fineness across the Low Countries — a project largely completed only under his successor, Charles the Bold.

Philip died in June 1467, making this a terminal issue, struck in the final months of a reign that lasted over forty years.
