Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/20 Daalder "1/20 Philipsdaalder" coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The coin was issued by the Lordship of Utrecht, which was one of the seven provinces that made up the Dutch States, a confederation of independent provinces that would eventually become the Netherlands. The coin was minted in 1571-1576, a period of great turmoil in the region, as the Dutch were fighting for independence from Spanish rule. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the King of Spain, indicating the complex political and economic ties that existed between the Dutch States and Spain at the time.
