| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Duchy of Gelderland — combining the lion of Guelders with the eagle of Jülich — is superimposed over a short floriated cross whose arms terminate in stylized foliate endings. The shield is displayed prominently in the central field within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, punctuated by fleur-de-lis ornaments, identifies the coin as a new gold issue of the Duchy of Guelders. The overall design follows the Rhenish goldgulden type in the tradition of late medieval German and Low Countries gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles of Egmont spent nearly his entire reign fighting to keep Guelders independent — first against the Habsburgs, then against Burgundian pressure, repeatedly leveraging French alliances to survive. The gulden series punctuated by lilies reflects that French connection directly; the fleur-de-lis was not decorative convention but a deliberate political signal of where Charles's loyalties and military backing lay. He remains the last Duke of Guelders to exercise genuine sovereignty, and his death in 1538 ended the duchy's independence within months.
