Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden "Saint Philip Gulden" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured saints on the obverse (front) side, and the king on the reverse (back) side. The coin's design was meant to promote the Catholic faith and reinforce the king's authority.
