Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Gold Lion - Brabant States in Revolt 1584 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and political upheaval in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which lasted from 1568 to 1648, was a series of conflicts between the Protestant-led Dutch provinces and the Catholic Spanish Empire, which controlled the region at the time. The coin was minted in 1584, during the height of the revolt, and its production was likely a response to the economic and political instability of the time. The coin's design, featuring a lion and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant, symbolized the resistance and independence of the Dutch provinces from Spanish rule.
