Karel II, koning van Spanje, rekenpenning geslagen op last van de raad van Financiën 1676

This 1676 rekenpenning, or counting coin, features a profile portrait of King Charles II of Spain on one side and the coat of arms of the Spanish Netherlands on the other. Though made by an anonymous artist, the coin reflects the artistic conventions of its time and was likely a piece commissioned by the Council of Finance for use in accounting and commerce. The small, circular coin measures 3 cm in diameter, and its detailed imagery would have been readily recognizable to the general public during the reign of King Charles II.
