<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 18828, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m still doing research on this coin to try and confirm what I think is the reason for it being struck. I am also searching for diagnostic information regarding its attribution. So if anyone knows anything about this coin - please share&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Meanwhile - I&#039;m enjoying just looking at it&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is a 1579 Utrecht, Netherlands Rose Noble - Fr.276. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Rose%20Noble%20obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Rose%20Noble%20rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It is my belief that this coin was struck marking the Union of Utrecht. The Union of Utrecht (Dutch: Unie van Utrecht) is a treaty signed on January 23, 1579 in Utrecht, the Netherlands, unifying the northern provinces of the Netherlands, until then under control of Spain. The Union of Utrecht is regarded as the foundation of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and its independence from Spain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
