Beschrijving voorzijde Armored and draped bust of Philip II facing left, wearing a ruff collar and pauldron, with curled hair rendered in fine detail characteristic of late 16th-century Spanish Netherlands portraiture. The date 1580 appears in the exergue below the effigy, divided by the Dordrecht mint mark (a rosette). The encircling Latin legend reads PHILIPPVS · D : G · HISP · REX · C · HOL, identifying the ruler as Philip II, King of Spain and Count of Holland. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and slightly uneven strike typical of hammered silver coinage of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

The 1/5 Philipsdaalder belongs to a fractional series introduced to satisfy demand for smaller silver denominations during the early stages of the Dutch Revolt, when monetary confidence in the region was anything but stable. Holland's continued striking of coins in Philip II's name well into the rebellion is one of the more uncomfortable ironies of the period — pragmatism over politics, with trade requiring recognizable, trusted silver regardless of who was actually in control of the province.

The "without jewel" distinction references a specific obverse die variant catalogued under Gelder Hoc 212-11f, separating it from otherwise near-identical emissions of the same year.
