Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Daalder "Pronkdaalder" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Dutch States. The coin was issued by Philip II of Spain, who was also the Duke of Guelders, and it was minted in the city of Utrecht. However, during this time, the Dutch States were fighting for their independence from Spain, and the coin was seen as a symbol of Spanish rule. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation until the Dutch Republic was established in 1588.
