Comment
Zeeland counterstamp on 1/10 Phillipsdaalder of Utrecht.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch States. The County of Zeeland was one of the most prominent regions in the Dutch Republic, and the issuance of this coin reflects the growing influence and power of the region during this period. Additionally, the use of a countermark, which is a stamp or mark applied to a coin to indicate its authenticity or value, suggests that there was a need to verify the authenticity of the coin, indicating that counterfeiting or fraudulent activities were a concern at the time.
