| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of Philip II of Spain facing right, wearing a ruff collar and elaborate pauldrons, his right hand resting on the pommel of a sword. Below the bust appears a crowned quartered shield bearing the arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and other Habsburgian territories, with the Lion of the Netherlands prominently displayed in the lower quarters. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the Latin legend reading PHS D G HISP Z REX DO` TRS` ISSVL` disposed around the periphery, identifying Philip as King of Spain and Lord of Overijssel. The portrait is rendered in the robust, somewhat naive hammered style typical of provincial Netherlandish coinage of the revolt period. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a floriated cross patée composed of four crowned Burgundian lions arranged in saltire, their tails intertwined at the centre, with fleurs-de-lis filling the angles between the arms of the cross. A small crowned shield of Overijssel appears at the top of the field, with the date 1578 divided across the upper portion of the field. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the circumferential Latin legend PACE ET IVSTITIA 1578 16 S S, denoting the denomination of sixteen stuivers and the provincial motto 'Peace and Justice'. The overall composition is characteristic of the Statendaalder series struck in the name of Philip II by the rebellious States during the early phase of the Dutch Revolt. |
