Comment
This type is differentiated from the earlier peerdeke type (see link) by the different legends on each side.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Peerdeke coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it features a unique blend of both Dutch and Spanish influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the effigies of Albert and Isabella, the ruling couple of the Duchy of Guelders, while the reverse side features the Spanish coat of arms. This blending of designs reflects the complex political history of the region during the 17th century, when the Dutch States were struggling for independence from Spanish rule.
