Comment
Emission of the rebels in the name of King Philip II.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rose noble coin from the Lordship of Utrecht is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were fighting for independence from Spain, and the coin was likely used to finance military efforts. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.992) and weighs 3.7 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the people who used it.
