Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1573 Siege of Middelburg (Dutch Republic) Gold Crown coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and scarcity. The Dutch Republic was facing a severe economic crisis, and as a result, the government was forced to debase the currency by reducing the amount of gold in the coins. Despite this, the 1573 Gold Crown coin maintains a high level of gold purity at .986, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
