Comment
Devices are similar to the penning struck in Holland at the same time, but obverse legend and symbol at center of cross are different.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penning coin from the Spanish Netherlands is that it features an image of Charles V, who was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire at the time. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1544 to 1552. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and age.
