Comment
Also known as a double écu d'or.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Gold Florins - Ferdinand of Bavaria 1613 from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued by the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of Ferdinand of Bavaria, who was the Bishop of Liège at the time. The coin's minting was likely a way for the Prince-Bishopric to assert its independence and power during a period of great upheaval, as the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years' War were both taking place around the same time.
