This coin's goal is to travel through the USA to Japan and to see many pretty things on its way.
If it's spent some time in Japan it'll hopefully travel back to the Netherlands and make a trip around the world that way.
The Eighty Years' War, or Dutch war of Independence , (1568–1648) began as a revolt of the Seventeen Provinces against Philip II of Spain, the sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands.
After the initial stages Philip II deployed his armies and regained control over most of the rebelling provinces. However, under the leadership of the exiled William of Orange the northern provinces continued their resistance and managed to oust the Spanish armies, and established the Rebuplic of the Seven United Netherlands. The subsequent war continued, although the heartland of the republic was no longer threatened. The war ended in 1648 with the Peace of Münster when the Dutch Republic was recognised as an independent country.
On the frontside you'll see a Dutch Lion with a hat of freedom. The text 'Haec Libertatis Ergo' means 'for the sake of freedom'.
