Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Rosenobels - Mary of Brimeu ND (1585-1587) coin from the Lordship of Megen (Dutch States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch States were fighting for independence from Spain, and the minting of this coin was a symbol of their resistance and determination to establish their own currency. Despite the challenges they faced, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the perseverance of the Dutch people during this time.
