Comment
Differs from Delmonte 584 in reverse legend.Interesting fact
The St. Pancratiusdaalder, a silver coin from the Lordship of Bergh (Dutch States), features an image of William IV, who ruled from 1546 to 1586. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great change in the region. The Dutch States were in the process of forming their independence from the Holy Roman Empire, and coins like the St. Pancratiusdaalder served as symbols of their growing autonomy.
