Historical Context: Struck in 1592, this 1/2 Rijksdaalder from West Friesland emerges from the crucible of the Dutch Revolt, a period of intense struggle for independence against Habsburg Spain. The Dutch Republic, a nascent federation, was asserting its sovereignty, issuing its own coinage to solidify economic autonomy and facilitate international trade.
