| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears the quartered arms of Overijssel beneath an imperial crown, the shield displaying the regional heraldic divisions in a compartmented arrangement. The mint mark (C+) appears at the start of the circumferential legend, which runs continuously within a beaded border. The heraldic shield is rendered in the late Gothic style consistent with Netherlandish hammered coinage of the 1529–1535 period. The overall strike is moderately well-centred, with some characteristic weakness at the periphery owing to the hammered production technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Overijssel's adoption of the silver real denomination in the early sixteenth century reflects the broader Habsburgs' push to harmonize coinage across the Low Countries under Charles V, a project that met persistent resistance from regional mints jealous of their traditional striking rights. The lordship issued under its own authority but within imperial monetary ordinances, a jurisdictional compromise typical of how Charles managed the patchwork of territories he inherited rather than conquered.
The billon alloy at roughly 45% silver places this squarely in the degraded coinage environment of the period, when petty silver was routinely debased to cover administrative costs.
