This is a silver coin, a rekenpenning, struck in 1543 to commemorate the Treaty of Venlo. It features an image of William II, Duke of Guelders, Jülich, and Cleves, on one side, and an image of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, on the other. The coin was likely created by an anonymous artist, and is a small, valuable piece of history weighing only 3.42 grams. This coin is a testament to the artistry and historical importance of minting in the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the politics and personalities of the time.
