This small copper coin, known as a "Hollandse duit", was minted in the Dutch province of Holland between 1573 and 1579. It bears the coat of arms of Philip II of Spain, the ruler of the Netherlands at the time. The coin, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of numismatic art and provides valuable insight into the history of the Dutch Revolt.
