This is a copper coin commemorating the treaty between the Dutch Republic and Spain in 1608. The coin, created by an anonymous artist, displays a coat of arms surrounded by a border of animals, while the other side bears the inscription "Aanvaarding van de voorstellen voor een bestand tussen de Republiek en Spanje" which translates to "Acceptance of the proposals for a truce between the Republic and Spain." This small, but important piece of numismatic art is a reminder of the historical events of the time and the significance of the Treaty of Antwerp, which ended twelve years of war.
