| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the crowned composite arms of Philip II of Spain, quartering Castile, León, Aragon, and the other Habsburgian territories, surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, with the fleece pendant visible at the base. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads PHS · D · G · HISP Z REX · DVX · BRA, identifying Philip as King of Spain and Duke of Brabant. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered gold coinage of the Spanish Netherlands in the late sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the turbulent opening years of the Dutch Revolt, this issue dates to the period when the States-General of the Spanish Netherlands briefly reasserted collective financial authority following the catastrophic mutiny and sack of Antwerp by unpaid Spanish troops in 1576 — the so-called Spanish Fury. The 'des Etats' designation reflects exactly that shift: coinage issued under the authority of the assembled provincial states rather than the Crown.
Philip II never formally sanctioned this series, which gives the issue its political edge and partly explains its short production window.
