It is the most beautiful city gate in the Netherlands:
Anyone travelling from Vught towards 's-Hertogenbosch in the 14th century would have encountered the impressive Pieckepoort.
This gate, now depicted on a Silver Ducat, was originally called Vughterpoort.
However, documents also mention the name Pieckepoort: there are several explanations for the name. It may refer to the many towers on the gate in its heyday, or it may be a reference to the Pieck family.
The Pieckepoort, with its five turrets, was considered one of the most beautiful city gates in the Netherlands.
During the siege of the city in 1629, it was severely damaged, as can be read in various diaries from that period.
It was rebuilt, but around 1890, the gate no longer served its purpose and was demolished.
In 2016, the gate's foundations were exposed, and a reconstruction was also made.
In the previous series (Dutch Castles), knight Godard de Ginkell was on the coin.
According to the Dutch Mint Act, a knight in armour should be on the coin.
This time, Karel van Egmond (1467 – 1538) (also known as Karel van Gelre) is taking over this honour.

During his reign, he had to deal with threats from emperor Charles V. He also was the last independent feudal ruler of the Netherlands.
