Interesting fact
The ¼ Stuiver "Statenoord" coin from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Guelders, Dutch States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Philip II, who was the King of Spain and the Netherlands at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted to help finance the military campaigns of the Spanish Empire. The coin features an image of Philip II on one side and the coat of arms of the Dutch States on the other. It's also notable that the Antwerp mint mark can be found on the coin, indicating that it was minted in the city of Antwerp, which was an important center for trade and commerce during that time.
