Verheffing van Ferdinand tot Rooms koning 1531

This silver coin, created in 1531 by an anonymous artist, is a striking example of coinage from the Dutch Golden Age. The coin commemorates the elevation of Ferdinand to the position of Roman King, a significant event in European history. On one side, a portrait of Ferdinand adorned with a crown is featured, while the reverse showcases a Latin inscription that translates to "Body, Nature, King, Eagle, Jan, D, 1531." The coin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic and historical significance of coinage during this pivotal period.
