Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Daalder coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Belgian States. Margaret IV van Brederode, who was the abbess of the Abbey of Thorn, had been appointed by Charles V to govern the region, but her rule was contested by the local nobility. Despite this, the coin bearing her name and image was still minted and circulated, indicating the complex political dynamics at play during that time.
