The Jager - Groningen 1477 coin was minted during a time of great change in the Dutch States. The coin was minted in 1477, just a few years after the Burgundian Wars, which saw the Dutch States become part of the Habsburg Empire. This coin was minted under the reign of Mary of Burgundy, who was the daughter of Charles the Bold and the ruler of the Habsburg Netherlands. The coin's design features a hunting scene on one side and the coat of arms of Groningen on the other, which reflects the region's rich history and culture.
