Hollandse oord op naam van Philips II, 1576 1576

This 16th-century Dutch copper coin, from the Rijksmuseum, depicts the coat of arms of Philip II of Spain on one side and a female figure on the other. The inscription on the coin, "Hollandse oord op naam van Philips II, 1576," translates to "Dutch coin in the name of Philip II, 1576," suggesting the coin was issued by the Dutch province of Holland during Philip II's reign. The coin, a testament to the political landscape of the Netherlands at the time, is a significant piece of numismatic history.
