Combined mintage of 768Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch States had recently declared their independence from Spain, and the production of this coin was likely a symbol of the newfound independence and a show of strength for the emerging Dutch Republic. Additionally, the use of gold in the coin's production adds to its value and historical significance, as gold was a highly valued and sought-after metal at the time.
