1/2 Daalder '1/2 Bourgondische Kruisrijksdaalder' - Philip II

Overijssel's minting of this denomination fell within the chaotic overlap of Spanish Habsburg authority and the early stirrings of the Dutch Revolt — Philip II nominally ruled, but actual control over the eastern provinces was contested, intermittent, and sometimes purely theoretical. The Burgundian Cross type was a pan-Netherlandish monetary policy instrument, imposed to standardize coinage across provinces that had wildly divergent local traditions and that resisted unification at nearly every turn.

The Vanhoudt AN/MA reference indicates production split between Arnhem and Kampen mints, both of which served Overijssel during this window. Kampen in particular had a long history of civic minting independence that sat uneasily with Habsburg centralization.
