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 turmoil, the coin's design remains a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the time, featuring a detailed image of Philip II and a beautiful rose on the reverse side.
