Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducaton - Charles II (Fourth bust, piedfort of double weight) 1687-1694 from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Brabant, Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) which was a conflict between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the economic demands of the war effort.
