This is a 17th century bronze rekenpenning, a type of commemorative coin, depicting King Charles II of Spain on horseback on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. Created in 1672, it was commissioned by the Council of Finance and displays a detailed portrait of the King, likely for use as a means of accounting and as a token of authority. The coin, measuring 3.3 centimeters in diameter, is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
