Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1700 Charles II (Third bust) 2 Sovereigns coin from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Brabant, Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714 and involved much of Europe, including the Spanish Netherlands. Despite the conflict, the coin still features the standard circulation design of Charles II, indicating that the minting process continued uninterrupted during this time.
