This small silver coin, known as a "rekenpenning", was struck in 1609 to commemorate the reign of Archduke Albert and Isabella of Austria. The coin’s obverse depicts a lion with an olive branch above it and the inscription "IMPERIO SECVRA RENIGNO" (A secure empire, a renewed kingdom). The reverse features a coat of arms with a crown and the inscription "ALBERT & ISABELLA G[R]IC[H]L[A]M[S]" (Albert and Isabella, Counts of Holland). This small but significant object serves as a reminder of a critical period in Dutch history.
