Comment
Several varieties exist differing primarily in the reverse legend (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Victordaalder" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Dutch States, specifically during the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still features the name and image of William V of Bronckhorst, who was a prominent Dutch nobleman and military leader. This highlights the complex political and social dynamics of the time, where local leaders and institutions continued to exert influence despite the challenges posed by foreign powers.
