Interesting fact
The Roosschelling coin was minted during a time of great economic and cultural growth in the Dutch Republic, which was a confederation of seven provinces in the Low Countries. The coin's design features a stylized image of a rose, which was a symbol of the province of West Friesland, where the coin was minted. The rose was also a symbol of the Dutch Republic as a whole, representing the country's prosperity and growth during this period.
