Comment
PatardInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stiver coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the region. The coin was issued by Albert and Isabella, who were the rulers of the Spanish Netherlands, a territory that included present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands. The coin was minted in 1614-1616, a period marked by the Eighty Years' War between the Dutch Republic and Spain, which had a significant impact on the region's economy and trade. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination in the region and is now a sought-after collector's item.
