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 VI, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor. At the time, the Spanish Netherlands was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and Charles VI was facing challenges from other European powers, including Great Britain and France. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant historical value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
