Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Stivers coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Spanish Netherlands and other territories under his rule. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the County of Holland on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing the unity of the territories under Charles V's rule.
