Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued by Albert and Isabella, who were the rulers of the Spanish Netherlands, a region that is now part of modern-day Belgium. However, during their reign, the region was facing significant political and economic challenges, including the Dutch Revolt, which was a rebellion against Spanish rule. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was made of gold, indicating the wealth and power of the ruling couple.
