One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Daalder - Margaret IV van Brederode (with titles of Ferdinand) 1560-1561 from Abbey of Thorn (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 28.0 g is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Margaret IV van Brederode, the Abbess of Thorn, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Belgian States. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time, where the Church and secular authorities coexisted and often collaborated.
