Interesting fact
The 1 Oord coin from the Spanish Netherlands, featuring Albert and Isabella, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or chain through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This practice of wearing coins as jewelry was common in the 17th century, and it speaks to the coin's cultural significance beyond its monetary value.
