Aansporing van Karel V, Duits keizer, om de rust te bewaren, rekenpenning van raad van Financiën 1546

This small silver coin, measuring only 2.7 cm in diameter, was created in 1546 and depicts the profile of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire on the other. The coin served as a "rekenpenning," a type of payment token used in the Netherlands during the 16th century. This piece is a testament to the history of coinage and provides insight into the political and economic realities of the time. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
