| Additional information |
Utrecht's half Philipsdaalder belongs to a turbulent window — the years when the northern provinces were oscillating between grudging Habsburg compliance and open revolt. Utrecht would not formally join the Union of Utrecht until January 1579, meaning earlier strikes in this series were issued by a lordship still nominally loyal to Philip II while its neighbors were already at war with him. The coin's own name became an awkward anachronism almost immediately.
Delmonte's classification places this among the scarcer provincial halves, with Utrecht's output considerably thinner than Holland or Zeeland across the same period.
