Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Reinoud IV, who was the Duke of Guelders from 1402 to 1423. During his reign, he sought to promote trade and commerce in the region, which led to the minting of coins like this one. The coin's design features the image of Reinoud IV on one side and the Guelders coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the duchy's independence and sovereignty.
