This is a silver coin depicting King Philip IV of Spain, minted in 1646 by an anonymous artist. This coin is a "rekenpenning," a type of coin used in accounting and finance. The coin showcases the king's coat of arms on one side and the date of minting on the other. It's a small but significant example of Dutch numismatics, offering a glimpse into the financial practices of the 17th century. The coin, now residing in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistic skill of the anonymous engraver and serves as a valuable historical artifact.
