Filips, erfprins van Spanje, ingehuldigd als graaf van Holland 1549

This silver coin, created by an anonymous artist in 1549, commemorates the inauguration of Philip, Prince of Spain, as Count of Holland. The obverse displays a bust of Philip in profile, while the reverse features the coat of arms of Holland. This small, yet significant, object is housed in the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the history of Dutch coinage and the reign of Philip II, who would later become King of Spain. The coin is a valuable artifact for art historians and numismatists alike.
