Interesting fact
The ½ Rose Nobel coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch States were in the process of forming the Dutch Republic, and the coinage of the time reflects this transition. The ½ Rose Nobel coin was minted with a unique design, featuring a rose on one side and a noble (a type of coin) on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Dutch coinage and is highly sought after by collectors today.
