Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dutch independence, specifically the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which was signed in 1661 and granted the Netherlands its independence from Spain. The coin's design features an image of a Dutch lion on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing the connection between the Netherlands and the Holy Roman Empire.
