1/5 Phillipsdaalder of other provinces counterstamped with Zeeland stamp (lion emerging from water).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅕ Daalder "⅕ Philipsdaalder" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The coin was issued in 1573-1574, during the Dutch Revolt, a period of conflict between the Dutch provinces and the Spanish Empire. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the image of Philip II, the King of Spain, indicating the ongoing influence of Spanish rule in the region.
