Interesting fact
The Daalder - Margaret of Brederode 1570 coin from the Abbey of Thorn in the Belgian States is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when women were rarely featured on coins. Margaret of Brederode, the woman depicted on the coin, was a prominent figure in Dutch history and played a significant role in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. Her appearance on the coin is a testament to her influence and importance during that time period.
