Abstract:

In the course of time several golden guilders have been found at Herkenbosch, a village to the east of Roermond. The finds include a hoard of eleven pieces found in 1987. We present and analyse these coins, which must have been concealed in the years 1440-1445. During this period, the region suffered form skirmishes between Gelre and Jülich-Berg.
