Landing van Karel I bij Tazones in Spanje, rekenpenning van de raad van Financien 1518

This 16th-century copper coin, known as a "rekenpenning" (counting coin), commemorates the landing of Charles I of Spain at Tazones. The coin's obverse displays the royal coat of arms, while the reverse depicts a scene of the landing, showcasing a ship and a figure representing Charles I. The coin's small size, measuring 2.9 cm in diameter, reflects its purpose as a token for accounting rather than a standard currency. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the history of early modern coinage and the life of Charles I.
