Dieren, s' Heerenberg, a mint of the Dukes of Juliers, Cleves, and
Berg, I4th c. At a later period coins were struck here for the Seigneurs
of s'
Heerenberg, with the mint-mark BB., or Dominus Serge, or Moneta
Bergensis. There is a long series of this family of numismatic examples,
some from this, and others from the mints at Hedel, Gendringen, Berg or
Mons, Stevensweerd, etc. In Schulman's Cat, No. xxiv. 1352-79, occurred
a remarkable assemblage of the ancient currency of this line, commencing
with Adam III., 1331-54, Baron von s' Heerenberg, and comprising two
exceedingly rare pieces : (i) a gold ducat of Oswald II., 1511-46, with a
shield quartering the arms of s' Heerenberg, Moeurs-Saawerden, and
Cuilemborg, and struck at Mons ; (2) a daalder in piefort, said to be
unique, with Sanct. Oswald Rex, and Nvmvs. Argen. 30 Stvfe. The
current value is on other pieces. Was this the place of origin of a supposed
unique gold gulden of 1577, minutely described by Schulman,

which belonged successively to the Merovingian Princes, the Abbey of
St. Etienne, the Dukes, and the Abbey of St. Benigne de Dijon. The
Dukes, however, gradually made themselves independent of the latter,
and established places of coinage at Auxonne and elsewhere. The
symbol of four croziers laid, two and two, back to back, on some of the
coins of D. is attributed to the monks of St. Benigne. Divionensis, or
Diviona. Dijon was for a short time an Anglo-Gallic mint.
