Comment
Described on p. 146-147 in Van der Chijs Volume 3.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stiver coin from the Lordship of Anholt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bronckhorst family, which was the ruling family of the region at the time. This shield is displayed on the obverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "IACOBUS DE BRONCKHORST" (James of Bronckhorst). This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
