Interesting fact
The 1 Ducaton coin from Spanish Netherlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) minted during the reign of Philip IV (1st Bust) from 1622-1636 features an image of the king on horseback on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other.

It's interesting to note that the coin's design and weight were influenced by the Dutch Republic's coinage system, which was the dominant power in the region at the time.
