| Additional information |
Philip II inherited Brabant as part of the seventeen provinces of the Low Countries upon the abdication of Charles V in 1555, and these gold reals were struck during the opening years of his rule before the religious and fiscal tensions that would eventually ignite the Revolt of the Netherlands. The "ANG" in Philip's titles — short for Angliae — reflects his status as King of England through his marriage to Mary I, a dignity that expired with her death in November 1558, giving this issue a hard terminus ante quem for at least the varieties bearing that specific titulature.
Delmonte distinguishes multiple die combinations within this short window, and the Fr#64/65 split follows differences in the legend arrangement rather than composition or weight.
