Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rose Noble (Countermarked) ND (1590) from City of Groningen (Dutch Republic) is that it features a unique countermark, which is a small stamp or marking that was added to the coin after it was minted. This countermark is a shield with the letters "GRO" inside, which stands for "Groningen" in Dutch. This indicates that the coin was issued by the City of Groningen and is a distinct variation from other coins of the same era.
