Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Burgundian Kruisrijksdaalder is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1568, was a rebellion against Spanish rule, and the coin was minted during this period of political and social upheaval. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in the region, a testament to the stability and reliability of the Dutch monetary system.
