Interesting fact

The Daalder coin from the Lordship of Bergh (Dutch States) featuring William IV (Bust left; Dieren) and made of silver is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Dutch States. The coin was minted in 1577, just a few years after the Dutch Revolt, a period of political and religious upheaval that saw the Dutch break away from Spanish rule and establish their own independent state. The coin's minting during this time period highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the Dutch people during a period of great uncertainty and transformation.
