Interesting fact
The Daalder coin featuring Herman Dirk of Bronckhorst-Batenburg (Bust) 1577 from the Barony of Batenburg (Dutch States) is interesting because it was made during a time when the Dutch States were still using the silver standard, and this coin was one of the first to be issued with a standardized weight and purity, weighing 26.0g of silver. This coin was also issued during a time of great change in the region, with the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule taking place around the same time, making it a unique piece of history.
