This small, copper coin, known as a "rekenpenning", was minted in 1602 to commemorate the lifting of the siege of 's-Hertogenbosch by Maurice of Nassau. The coin, which is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, features a shield with the coat of arms of Albrecht and Isabella of Austria, who ruled the Netherlands at the time. This type of coin, which was used to make calculations, exemplifies the numismatic arts of the early 17th century.
