1576-1612  Silver Arendschilling Coin In Box
• On 11 August 1572 Kampen was conquered from the Spaniards by
Willem van den Bergh, a brother of William of Orange.
• Kampen was originally more oriented toward the Baltic trade and
commerce with the hinterland of the Rhine, and therefore
in 1441 formally joined the Hanseatic League.
• Today Kampen has one of the best preserved old town centres of the
Netherlands, including remains of the ancient city wall (of which
three gates are still standing) and numerous churches.
• The Arendschilling is a Dutch Silver or Bullion Coin (Eagle Shilling) valued 6 stuivers.
It is named after the illustration of the crowned, double-headed Reichsadler.
Since Rudolf II (1552-1612) the reverses are inscribed with the emperors’
titles. Usually, the obverses show crowned coats of arms.
