Vianen, a former free manor in the province of Holland (The Netherlands), where Hendrik van Brederode (1556–1568) established
a mint in the early part of the second half of the 16th century. A more or less extensive series of imitations of foreign
coin types was struck there. Thanks to decisive action by the States-General, the illegal coinage in Vianen came to an abrupt
end in the course of 1577.
