Comment
Known as gouden kroon (Dutch).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 minting of this coin was a symbol of their resistance and desire for self-governance. Despite the challenges they faced, the coin remains a testament to the craftsmanship and resilience of the people of the Lordship of Utrecht during this period.
