Hedel (former lordship on the Maas in Gelderland, presen dat village in the municipaty of Maasdriel, the Netherlands) held
minting rights under the lords and later counts of Bergh. Coinage occurred sporadically: briefly in the 15th century under
Willem II, from 1565–1567 under Willem IV, and more substantially under Frederik van den Bergh from 1577–1580. Mint dies for
his issues (stuiver, daalder, halve daalder) were rediscovered in 1981. Emergency notes were issued there at the start of
World War II.
