This small, circular coin, known as a "rekenpenning" or "counting piece," depicts King Philip II of Spain and was created in 1593 by an anonymous artist. The coin is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. On one side is a profile portrait of Philip II, while the other side features the royal coat of arms of Spain. The coin, with a diameter of 3 cm and weighing 4.54 grams, is a significant artifact offering a glimpse into the history and numismatics of 16th-century Spain.
