Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Silver Real - Charles V ND (1521-1545) coin from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Brabant, Belgian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were used to promote trade and commerce throughout his empire. The coin's design features an image of Charles V on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant on the other, symbolizing the unity and power of the Spanish Empire.
