Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Gulden (Siege of 1577) coin from the City of Breda (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and conflict. The siege of 1577 was a pivotal event in the Dutch Revolt, a war between the Dutch Republic and Spain that lasted from 1568 to 1648. Despite the challenges and dangers of minting coins during a siege, the city of Breda was able to produce a gold coin that has become a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
