Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Daalders "2 Pronkdaalder" coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Guelders, which was a region in the Low Countries that is now part of the Netherlands. This shield is placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, highlighting the connection between the Spanish Netherlands and the Duchy of Guelders.
