One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the regency of Philip the Handsome, who was the son of Emperor Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy. Philip was known for his diplomatic and political skills, and he played a significant role in the politics of the Burgundian Netherlands during his regency. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by Philip or his representatives, making it a unique piece of history from that time period.
