Comment

Known as Écu Philippe (French) or Philipsdaalder (Dutch). Differs from the earlier type by lacking “ANG” in Philip's titles, and having mint mark dividing date.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1566, was a rebellion against Spanish rule in the Netherlands, and it led to the eventual formation of the Dutch Republic. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Philip II, the Spanish king, highlighting the complex political and cultural ties that existed in the region during this time.
