Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1566, was a rebellion against Spanish rule in the Netherlands, and it was during this time that Philip II issued this coin as a means of raising funds for his military campaigns. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the traditional imagery of a Burgundian shield on one side and the monarch's portrait on the other, showcasing the enduring influence of the Burgundian dynasty in the region.
