Van de eerste uitgifte in 1538 (zonder datum op de munten) werden gelijke aantallen geslagen met op de vz. de patroonheilige van elk der drie steden, Sint Lebuinus voor Deventer, Sint Nicolaas voor Kampen en Sint Michael voor Zwolle. Daarna werden er Karolusdaalders geslagen tot 1563, van 3 verschillende types.''
