Interesting fact
The 2 Rose Nobles coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic change in the region. The Dutch Republic was formed in 1581, and the Province of Gelderland was one of its seven provinces. The coin was minted in 1583-1584, a period of economic growth and trade expansion for the young republic. The fact that it was made of gold and weighs 15.18 grams suggests that it was a valuable coin at the time, possibly used for large transactions or as a store of value.
