This copper "rekenpenning" (counting token) was created in 1553 by an anonymous artist. Featuring a profile portrait of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, on one side and the coat of arms of Brabant on the other, the token was used by the accounting chamber of the Duchy of Brabant in Brussels. The token's size and weight are small, measuring 2.9 centimeters in diameter and weighing 4.88 grams. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing its historical significance.
