Emission of the rebels in the name of King Philip II.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rose Noble coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were fighting for independence from Spain, and the coin was likely used to finance military efforts. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's gold content and intricate design have survived the centuries, making it a valuable piece for collectors today.
