1 Daalder Piedfort of double weight - Philip II

Piedforts were never intended for commerce. Philip II's administration used double-weight presentation strikes of this kind as diplomatic gifts, proof-of-die submissions, and prestige objects for high officials — a practice rooted in the Burgundian court traditions the Spanish Habsburgs inherited. The year 1567 is pointed: it falls precisely when the Duke of Alba was dispatched to the Netherlands with 10,000 troops, inaugurating a terror campaign that would ignite the Eighty Years' War within months.

Overijssel's own minting authority was already politically fraught by this date, its loyalties contested between Habsburg pressure and the stirring revolt.
