Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Patagon coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who was the King of Spain and the Netherlands at the time. However, the coin was minted in the County of Flanders, which was part of the Belgian States, indicating that the region was under Spanish rule at the time. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that highlights the complex political and cultural dynamics of 17th-century Europe.
