Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Angelot coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Dutch States. William IV, who ruled from 1546 to 1586, was facing opposition from the Spanish Empire, which had occupied much of the Netherlands. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that showcase the skill of the mint's craftsmen.
