| Additional information |
Charles of Egmont was only a child when these stivers were struck — born in 1467, he was no more than thirteen at the close of this issue's production window. Actual authority rested with regency administrators during the prolonged power struggle between Guelders and the Burgundian Netherlands under Charles the Bold and, after 1477, Mary of Burgundy. The duchy's insistence on minting in the young duke's name was a pointed assertion of local autonomy against Burgundian absorption.
The multiple Levinson references suggest die variants across the three-year span, consistent with Guelders' habit of issuing from more than one working die series without centralizing production.
