This is a "Dubbele stuiver" coin, a type of emergency coin struck in 1709 by the allied forces who had taken control of the city of Doornik. The coin was made by re-striking an existing coin from 1655. It's a fascinating example of the repurposing of existing currency in times of war and hardship, and it provides valuable insight into the history and culture of the time. "Dubbele stuiver" coin, emergency coin, Doornik, 1709, re-striking.
