Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The County of Flanders, where the coin was minted, was part of the Spanish Netherlands, which was a territory that was under Spanish rule from 1581 to 1794. During this time, the region experienced significant political and economic instability, including the Eighty Years' War between the Dutch Republic and Spain, which lasted from 1568 to 1648. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Spanish Netherlands continued to be minted, and coins like the 1 Sovereign - Philip IV 1621-1665 remain an important part of numismatic history.
