Maurits van Oranje ingehuldigd als markies van Vlissingen 1591

This silver coin, created by an anonymous artist in 1591, depicts Maurits van Oranje, the stadtholder of the Netherlands. The front of the coin displays the coat of arms of the Marquisate of Vlissingen, featuring a shield with a stylized lion. The back of the coin is inscribed with the words “MAURITIUS” and “ORA,” indicating the name of the marquis. This small coin, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of a 16th-century Dutch coin and its historical significance.
