| Additional information |
Holland's duit coinage of this period was issued under Spanish authority during the most violent phase of the Dutch Revolt, when Philip II's commander the Duke of Alba had already imposed the Council of Blood and executed thousands. Provincial minting continued partly out of necessity — occupying forces and local commerce both required small change — even as sieges at Haarlem, Alkmaar, and Leiden were actively disrupting the economic life of the very towns producing coin.
The GH#264.11 attribution places this within Gelder-Hoc's tightly documented Holland series, where die variation across the 1573–1580 window is considerable.
