Comment
Mintmark:Interesting fact
The "Burgundian kruisrijksdaalder" coin from 1584 features an error in the inscription on the reverse side, where the word "KAROLVS" (the Latin name for Charles) appears instead of "PHILIPPVS" (the Latin name for Philip), indicating that the die cutter mistakenly used a previously engraved die for a coin of Charles V instead of Philip II. This error makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors.
