Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stoter coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it features a unique blend of both Flemish and Spanish influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the effigies of Albert and Isabella, the ruling archdukes of the region, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the County of Flanders, which was a region under Spanish rule at the time. This blend of Flemish and Spanish elements reflects the complex political and cultural history of the region during the early 17th century.
