Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Arendrijksdaalder" coin is that it features an image of a double-headed eagle, which was a symbol of the Habsburg dynasty, to which Rudolph II belonged. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious turmoil in Europe, and the use of the double-headed eagle symbolizes the complex power dynamics at play during this period.
