1/2 Duit - Philip II

正面描述	Central field dominated by a crowned coat of arms bearing the Burgundian saltire (the cross of Burgundy), composed of two crossed, ragged branches, flanked by four small stars or mullets in the angles. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. A beaded inner border surrounds the design, with a further beaded outer border encircling the entire coin. The circular legend reads: · PHS · D: G · HISP Z REX · COM · FL, identifying Philip II as King of Spain and Count of Flanders. The hammered fabric results in a characteristically irregular flan.

附加信息	Philip II inherited Flanders through his father Charles V in 1555, but by 1586 the county was deep inside the grinding conflict of the Dutch Revolt. The half duit was the smallest practical unit of account in the Spanish Netherlands, and issues from this period were struck under the authority of Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma, who served as governor-general and was simultaneously conducting the siege campaigns that would briefly push rebel forces north of the great rivers. Copper coinage of this type circulated hard in the southern provinces and survivors in any presentable condition are genuinely scarce.
