Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stuiver coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the first king to unite the crowns of Castile, Aragon, and Navarre, and became the first king of Spain. This coin was minted during a time of great change and expansion for the Spanish Empire, and it features an image of Charles V on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Holland on the other.
