S'Heerenberg (1546-77) daalder Dav-8585
This specimen was lot 30156 in Heritage sale 3089 (Dallas, TX, January 2021), where it sold for $15,600. The catalog description[1] noted, "S'Heerenberg. William IV Taler (Ecu de 30 Sous) ND (1546-1586) MS65+ NGC, Hedel mint. A most challenging type in all states of preservation, let alone when found in Gem Mint State with an added 'plus' designation as is this example, our research indicating that a total of just 4 representatives have come to auction in the last decade and a half. Far superior to the plate piece in Delmonte, which shows significant weakness in the peripheral registers, the offering retains a significant icy glow over the fields while not showing hardly a trace of unevenness to the planchet and minimal annealing flaws. An ideal target for the Dutch series collector. Ex. Westfälische Auktionsgesellschaft Auction 49 (February 2009, Lot 1209); Westfälische Auktionsgesellschaft Auction 39 (September 2006, Lot 4076). From the Cape Coral Collection of European Crowns." The count of Bergh (or s'Heerenberg) issued daalders and other silver coins in the fifteenth century before being absorbed into Gelderland, in which province the town still remains. We have filed this coin under Gelderland as the coinage of Bergh is too scanty to warrant its own page.
