Comment
Delmonte 527 and 529 have date of just the last two digits (81, 82) on reverse (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1582 Ghent Revolt Rose Noble coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and rebellion in the Spanish Netherlands. The Ghent Revolt, which took place in 1582, was a rebellion against the Spanish rule in the region, and this coin was minted as a symbol of the rebels' fight for independence. The coin's design features a rose on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other, and it was made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Despite the turmoil surrounding its minting, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
