| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central Burgundian cross with elaborate foliate and firesteel ornamentation at its heart, the four arms radiating outward to divide the date (15-68) in the lateral fields. A mint mark appears at the top, above the cross. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circumferential legend runs. The overall style is characteristic of Habsburg-Burgundian hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth century, with robust and deeply struck relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip II never set foot in the Low Countries after 1559, yet his name and titles continued to appear on Brabantine coinage throughout the opening years of the Revolt. This quarter daalder was struck at the height of the Duke of Alba's terror — the Council of Blood was already executing Netherlandish nobles by 1568, the same year Fernando Álvarez de Toledo imposed his ruinous taxation scheme that accelerated open rebellion.
The "Burgundian" designation reflects the dynastic inheritance Philip claimed through Charles V, not a separate mint authority. Delmonte's S#104 represents a tight date range; production ceased as mint operations in Brabant became increasingly disrupted by military occupation and civic unrest.
