Rust in de Nederlanden, rekenpenning van de Staten van Utrecht 1593

This small, 3 cm diameter, bronze coin, known as a "rekenpenning", was created in 1593 by an anonymous artist. It depicts a scene of the city of Utrecht, Netherlands, with a river and surrounding countryside. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of the States of Utrecht. While small in size, the coin offers valuable insight into the history and symbolism of the province in the late 16th century.
