Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles II, who was the King of Spain and the ruler of the Spanish Netherlands. However, the Dutch Revolt, which began in 1568, had already led to the formation of the Dutch Republic in 1588, and the Spanish Netherlands was in a state of political and economic upheaval. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Charles II and the insignia of the Spanish Netherlands, indicating the ongoing influence of Spanish rule in the region.
