Comment
GH 210-17c has slightly different obverse legend: PHS D G HISP Z REX DO TRS ISSVLInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Philipsdaalder coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The coin was issued by the Lordship of Overijssel, which was one of the Dutch States that emerged during the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this period of political and economic upheaval. Despite the challenges of the time, the Philipsdaalder coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
