Interesting fact
The "Leeuwendaalder" coin featuring William V of Bronckhorst has an interesting feature - it has a unique "split-date" format, with the year 1564 divided into two parts, "15" on the obverse (front) side and "64" on the reverse (back) side. This unusual design was used to indicate that the coin was minted during a time of political turmoil, specifically during the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule.
