Summary/Abstract: The present work concerns a gold Dutch gulden struck in Arnhem, between 1402 and 1423, during the reign of Reinald IV, the Duke of Gueldersand Jülich. The item was found during archaeological excavations in 2014. Stray finds of gold coins are very rarely registered in Gdansk, although they played an important role in the city’s trade. This is why the discussed find is of such importance.
