Interesting fact
The Barony of Batenburg, where this coin was minted, was a small state within the Dutch Republic, and it was known for its rich agricultural land and textile industry. The coat of arms on the coin, which features a lion holding a shield with three roses, represents the Batenburg family who ruled the barony from the 14th to the 18th century.
