Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The County of Flanders was part of the Spanish Netherlands, which was a Spanish territory in what is now Belgium, and Philip II was the King of Spain at the time. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for currency during a period of economic growth and trade in the region. Despite the turmoil, the coin's design and production were still carefully managed, as evidenced by its precise weight and standardized design.
