Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Albertin coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued by Albert and Isabella, who were the rulers of the Spanish Netherlands from 1600 to 1603. During their reign, the Dutch Revolt was ongoing, which led to the eventual independence of the Dutch Republic from Spain. Despite the political instability, the Albertin coin remained a popular form of currency and is now a sought-after collector's item.
