Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The reign of Philip V (1700-1746) saw the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714 and involved much of Europe, including the Spanish Netherlands. Despite this, the coinage of the time remained consistent and of high quality, with the 2 Sovereigns coin being a prime example. Its gold content and weight of 11.06g made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it remains a sought-after collector's item to this day.
