The first specimen was lot 1151 in Jean Elsen sale 122 (Brussels, September 2014), where it sold for €180 (about US$276 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''NEDERLAND, BERGH, Graafschap, Willem IV (1546-1586), AR Sint Oswalddaalder van 30 stuiver, z.j. Mmt. kruis. Droit: Klimmende leeuw l. met het wapen van Bergh. Revers: SANCT OSWALD REX NVMVS ARGE 30 STVF Gekroond bb. van Sint Oswald radié tussen 30-S, met open kroon. Fraai à Zeer Fraai.'' (Netherlands, county of Bergh, William IV (1546-86), silver St. Oswald's daalder of thirty stuivers, without date; mintmark: cross. Obverse: lion rampant holding arms of Bergh; reverse: crowned bust of St. Oswald divides value. Fine to very fine.)"</blockquote> The second specimen was lot 476 in Schulman auction 379 (Amsterdam, June 2024), where it sold for €240 (about US$309 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''GELDERLAND Heerlijkheden en steden. St. Oswalddaalder van 30 stuiver. z.j, Silver, WILLEM IV 1546-1586, HEERENBERG Borstbeeld van Karel V met open kroon naar rechts tussen waarde 30 - S en met waardeaanduiding in het omschrift als 30 * STVFE. Kz. klimmende leeuw met wapen van 's-Heerenberg. Mmt. granaatappel op voor- en haken op keerzijde. R. Wat zwak uitgemunt. Zeer fraai +.'' ([[Netherlands, Gelderland|duchy of Gelderland]], undated St. Oswald's daalder of thirty stuivers, William IV, 1546-86. Obverse: bust right of Charles V with open crown divides the value; reverse: lion rampant with the arms of 's-Heerenberg, mintmark pomegranate on the reverse. Rare, very fine or better.)"</blockquote> The count of Bergh (or s'Heerenberg) issued daalders and other silver coins in the fifteenth century before being absorbed into [[Netherlands, Gelderland|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.
