1/4 Daalder `1/4 Bourgondische Kruisrijksdaalder` in name of Philip II

Overijssel struck these fractional daalders during one of the most precarious stretches of the Dutch Revolt — the province had only recently stabilized after Spanish forces under Parma swept through the eastern Netherlands in the early 1580s. Minting in the name of Philip II while actively fighting his armies was not hypocrisy but legal necessity: Dutch coinage derived its acceptability from imperial authority, and abandoning that fiction entirely would have disrupted trade with neighbouring territories still under Habsburg control.

The series ran only three years before Overijssel abandoned the Bourgondische Kruisdaalder type altogether.
