Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Snaphaan coin is that it features an image of Charles of Egmont, who was a prominent nobleman and military leader in the Dutch States during the 16th century. He played a significant role in the Guelders Wars, which were a series of conflicts that took place in the region between 1492 and 1538. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of Charles of Egmont, serves as a testament to his importance in the region's history.
