Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The Lordship of Tournai, where the coin was minted, was a territory that was constantly disputed between Spain and the Dutch Republic, and the coin's minting was likely a way for the Spanish to assert their control over the region. Despite this, the coin features the image of Philip IV, the King of Spain, indicating that the Spanish influence was still strong in the area. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the complex political dynamics of the time.
