Description from the seller

Golden Postage Stamp: Capture of Den Briel in its original packaging including Certificate.

This official Dutch Golden Stamp is issued to commemorate the capture of the fortified town of Den Briel in 1572, exactly 450 years ago in 2022.

The Sea Beggars seized the fortified town of Den Briel on the island of Voorne in 1572. That was the starting signal for other villages and towns in the Netherlands to rise up against the Spanish monarch, King Philip II. William of Orange openly urged the people to take up arms. Thus 1572 became an important turning point in the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648).

This official Dutch Golden Stamp is part of the series ‘The Birth of the Netherlands’. Later this year, three more issues will follow, collectively telling the story of the origin of the Netherlands as we know it today.
