Comment
Delmonte lists countermarked nobles of Zeeland (#1151), Overijssel (#1152) and England (#1153), but not this one.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rose Nobel coin is that it was countermarked on a Gorinchem noble, which was a type of gold coin that was widely used in the Dutch Republic during the 16th century. The countermark was a stamp or mark that was added to the coin to indicate its authenticity and value. This practice was common during that time period, as it helped to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the integrity of the currency.
