Obverse description Crowned shield of Holland bearing a rampant lion, centrally positioned in the field. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in the hammered style typical of mid-16th-century Low Countries coinage. A rosette mintmark appears at the conclusion of the legend, attributing the piece to the Dordrecht mint. The surrounding circular legend reads PHILIP · D : G · COMES · HOLLAN · with the date 1575, identifying Philip II as Count of Holland by the Grace of God. The overall design is characteristic of the billon and copper coinage issued for the County of Holland under Spanish Habsburg authority.
