Karel V, Duits keizer, rekenpenning van de raad van Financiën 1554

This small, circular, lead token was minted in 1554 for the Council of Finance during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. The coin displays the double-headed eagle, the traditional symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, on one side and the inscription "AD DOMINVM" ("To the Lord") on the other. This token, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of numismatic art from the 16th century.
