Interesting fact
The Stiver coin with Charles of Egmond (Lion facing right) was minted during a time of great change in the Dutch States. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was also the King of Spain. This was a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and the Dutch States were no exception. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and political influence of the Dutch States in the region.
