Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Crown - Philip II 1571-1575 from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Guelders, Dutch States) made of Gold weighing 3.3 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1568, was a rebellion against Spanish rule that lasted for over a century. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the King of Spain, indicating the continued influence of Spanish rule in the region.
