Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Patagon - Charles II (Type 2) 1686-1700 from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Brabant, Belgian States) made of Silver (.873) weighing 28.10 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) which was a conflict between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin may have been used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time.
