Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued by Albert and Isabella, who were the rulers of the Duchy of Brabant, a region that is now part of modern-day Belgium. During their reign, the Dutch States, which included the Duchy of Brabant, were fighting for independence from Spain, which led to a period of political instability and economic upheaval. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time continued to be minted, and this particular coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of the region during that period.
