Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Peerdeke coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil. The coin was issued during the reign of Albert and Isabella, who were the rulers of the Habsburg Netherlands, a region that included present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands. However, during this time, the Dutch States, which was a confederation of provinces in the northern Netherlands, was fighting for independence from Spanish rule. Despite this political tension, the coin still features the image of Albert and Isabella, highlighting their authority and influence in the region.
