Comment
Reverse lettering is known with COMITATs or just COMITAT.Interesting fact
The ½ Rose noble coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a confederation of seven provinces that had recently gained independence from Spain, and the minting of this coin reflects the growing economic power and influence of the region during this period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.958) and weighs 3.82g suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
