Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Patards coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it features a unique blend of Spanish and Dutch influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the effigies of King Albert and Queen Isabella, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Lordship of Tournai, which was a region in present-day Belgium that was under Spanish rule at the time. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and political dynamics of the region during the early 17th century.
