Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Charles II (Early type) 1666-1685 from Spanish Netherlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Low Countries, which were part of the Spanish Empire at the time.
