Hollandse penning van Floris IV, 1222-1234 1222 - 1234

This small silver coin, measuring just 1.2 cm in diameter, was minted by Floris IV, Count of Holland, between 1222 and 1234. The coin, known as a "Hollandse penning," features a stylized image of a bird, likely an eagle, representing the Count’s authority. This type of coin was a common form of currency in the Netherlands during the Middle Ages. It is a fascinating example of early Dutch numismatics.
