This specimen was lot 1126 in Jean Elsen sale 157 (Brussels, December 2023), where it sold for €700 (about US$903 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''NEDERLAND, BATENBURG, Willem van Bronckhorst (1556-1573), AV Sint Victordukaat, z.j. Vz/ SANCTVS- VICTOR Staande heilige met schild en ridderlans met bannier, tussen W-B. Kz/ MONETA NO-VA AVREA B De heilige Maagd met het kind. Daaronder het wapenschildje Bronckhorst-Batenburg. Zeer zeldzaam. Dubbelslag. Fraai à Zeer Fraai.'' ([[Netherlands]], lordship of Batenburg, William of Bronckhorst, 1556-73, undated gold St. Victor's ducat. Obverse: standing saint with lance and banner; reverse: Madonna and Child, Batenburg arms below. Very scarce, double struck, Fine - Very Fine.)"</blockquote> The lords of Bronkhorst were barons of Batenburg in [[Netherlands, Gelderland|Gelderland]] and from there began issuing coins, usually bad, in the 1550's. There is also a rare variety, believed unique, that comes without the "WB" (Fr-7a). Willem issued other ducats, double ducats, angels, half angels, cruzados and couronnes d'or. The last gold coin from this locale is a ducat of 1578 (Fr-13) issued by Herman Thierry.
