| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing full-length figure of Saint Andrew, patron saint of Burgundy, depicted facing forward in draped robes, holding his distinctive saltire cross in his right hand and a book in his left. The date, here 1568, is divided by the figure in the field to either side. A beaded inner border frames the design. The surrounding Latin legend DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR, meaning 'The Lord is my helper', is drawn from Psalm 118 and served as the personal motto of the Burgundian dukes, appearing on all Burgundian guilders of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip II inherited the Habsburg Netherlands at a moment of acute confessional tension, and the years 1567–1570 bracket one of the most violent episodes in Brabant's history: the arrival of the Duke of Alba in August 1567, the establishment of the Council of Troubles, and the execution of Egmont and Hoorn in 1568. Coin production continued under Philip's authority throughout, but Alba's fiscal demands — including the deeply resented Tenth Penny tax — would within a few years trigger the revolt that fractured the Netherlands permanently.
The Burgundian Guilder type itself traces its design lineage back to the Valois dukes of Burgundy, deliberately retained by the Habsburgs to signal continuity of lordship over the Low Countries provinces.
