| Additional information |
Philip II inherited the Seventeen Provinces from his father Charles V in 1555, but his relationship with the Low Countries deteriorated almost immediately. The daalder series from these transitional years — struck at Antwerp and Malines — represents the last window before the Duke of Alba's arrival in 1567 and the fiscal catastrophe of the Spanish Fury effectively ended normal commercial coinage for years. The Brabant mint at Antwerp was among the busiest in northern Europe during this period, feeding trade networks that stretched from the Baltic to the Levant.
The GH#210 designation covers a tight die grouping with documented variants at both minting authorities, distinguishable by mintmaster marks rather than any substantive design change.
