one of my most outspoken upgrades;

jeton 1585 from Dordrecht, Dutch republic
while Alexander Farnese, duke of Parma, captured Antwerpen (horse) and Nijmegen (donkey) (obverse) Dutch nobility negociate with queen Elisabeth from England for help => she would send next year the earl of Leicester, Robert Dudley to the Netherlands with an English army.

a major change indeed !
memorable rather than dramatic, I would say

here is an example of an upgrade made only months after finding the first piece (not easy to find - I was looking for this type for a number of years)

Dutch jeton made at the end of 1605, just after the Gunpowder Plot, one of the most memorable political events in the history of the United Kingdom, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot
