Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Écu "Philippe" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued in 1592, just a few years after the Dutch Revolt, which saw the seven provinces of the Netherlands break away from Spanish rule and form the Dutch Republic. Despite this political upheaval, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the King of Spain, highlighting the complex political and cultural ties that existed in the region during this time.
