Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Daalder "Ecu des Etats" coin is that it was minted during the Brabant Revolt, a period of political and military turmoil in the Dutch-speaking regions of the Spanish Netherlands (now part of Belgium) in the late 16th century. The coin was issued by the rebels as a form of currency to finance their military efforts, and it features an image of a crowned shield with the motto "Vive le Roi" (Long live the King) on one side, and the coat of arms of Brabant on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
