Comment
Struck in Anvers for UtrechtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mite coin from the Lordship of Utrecht is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Dutch States. Despite being made of Billon, a relatively low-value metal, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the economic and political changes taking place in the region during the 16th century.
