Final Artwork of the Haec Libertatis Ergo Geocoin
Haec Libertatis Ergo Geocoin
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 republic of the Seven United Netherlands.
The subsequent war between the Spanish
empire and the Republic continued, although
the heartland of the Republic was no longer threatened. The war ended in 1648 with the
Peace of Munster when the Dutch Republic
was recognised as an independent country.
Design
The geocoin is round shaped and has a size of
1.75″ (approx. 44 mm). The front of this geocoin
is made after a silver copy of a paper coin from
the city of Leiden in 1574. This paper coin was
made to finance the 80-year Dutch revolt against
the Spanish occupier. Spanish troups besieged the city, but in 1574 the city was relieved by cutting the dikes thus enabling ships to carry provisions to the inhabitants of the flooded town. The coins shows a Dutch lion with on it’s lance a hat of freedom. The text ‘Haec libertatis ergo’ means ‘all the for the sake of freedom’. On the back of the coin the broken chain, dutch flag and the keys of the city
of Leiden.

Op het geocoinfest in Eindhoven een prachtige verzameling coins mogen aanschouwen. Hierin zit aanzienlijk wat tijd en niet te vergeten geld. Vol bewondering de coins bekeken en gelukkig was er de optie om de codes toegestuurd te krijgen want anders was ik nu nog aan het schrijven. Bedankt voor het showen.

Deze mooie coinverzameling mogen zien op het Geocoinfest in Eindhoven, op de verjaardag van mijn vrouw 😁
We moesten er 2,5 uur voor rijden maar wij zijn blij dat we geweest zijn. Ik heb veel coins gezien en de kinderen hebben zich prima vermaakt met alle spelletjes die er te doen waren. De ranja-melk-koe was een grote hit!
Dank je wel dat ik deze coins mag ontdekken.
Vriendelijke groeten
