Comment
Also known as the florin d'or St. Philip or the Philippusgoudgulden.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Brabant, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier versions of the Florin, and it was added to indicate the coin's origin and authority. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
