Peter d'Or - Dirk van Bronckhorst

Dirk van Bronckhorst acquired Batenburg through inheritance in 1418 and wasted little time asserting the monetary privileges that came with it. The gold peter struck under his authority borrows its type from the Burgundian coinage then dominating the Low Countries — a deliberate mimicry that helped these pieces circulate beyond the barony's modest territorial reach. Small lordships in the Guelders-Brabant borderlands routinely produced imitative gold as a revenue mechanism, with the issuing authority's legitimacy mattering far less to merchants than the coin's weight and fineness.

Delmonte records only a handful of attributed survivors.
