Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 in the Netherlands, and it lasted for several decades. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the Spanish king, indicating that the Spanish monarchy continued to exert its influence over the region even during this time of upheaval.
