Comment
Known as a sol or patard (French)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stiver coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Spain. This coin was used as a means of payment during his rule, and its design features the image of Charles V on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other. The use of billon, a metal alloy consisting of .309 silver and .691 copper, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins. Despite its relatively low value, this coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
