Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Daalder "Burgundian" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1566, was a rebellion against Spanish rule in the Netherlands, and it was during this time that the coin was minted. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the Spanish king, highlighting the complex political and cultural ties of the region during this period.
