Comment
Emissions of the rebels in the name of King PhilipsII (1573-1581).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Patard des Etats" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. Philip II, who ruled from 1577 to 1584, was facing religious wars between Catholics and Protestants, as well as conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich history and culture of the County of Hainaut during that time.
