Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stiver coin from Burgundian Netherlands is that it features an image of Philip the Handsome, who was the Duke of Burgundy and the King of Castile, on one side, and a shield with the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region, as the Burgundian Netherlands were in the process of becoming part of the Habsburg Empire. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of the County of Flanders, indicating the region's continued importance and autonomy. Additionally, the use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the creation of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than those made of pure silver.
