| Additional information |
The Philipsdaalder was introduced by Philip II's government in the Low Countries as part of a broader effort to standardize coinage across his Burgundian inheritance — a monetary reform driven as much by the need to fund continuous Hapsburg military expenditure as by any administrative tidiness. The "ANG" designation here indicates the Angleterre title, reflecting Philip's claim to the English throne through his marriage to Mary I, which lasted only from 1554 until her death in 1558. That title disappeared from Low Countries coinage almost immediately after Mary died.
Holland struck this type for just two years before the titulature was revised.
