Daalder `Bourgondische Kruisrijksdaalder` (in name of Philip II)

Overijssel began striking these pieces under Philip II's name well after the province had effectively joined the revolt against him — a legal fiction maintained because the Union of Utrecht signatories lacked a universally recognized alternative sovereign until the formal Act of Abjuration in 1581, and even then, transition in coinage lagged behind political reality. Striking in Philip's name carried practical advantages: the coins remained acceptable in trade circuits that were not yet ready to recognize rebel authority.

The Burgundian cross daalder type itself traced back to Habsburg monetary ordinances of the mid-sixteenth century, designed to create a unified coinage across the Low Countries. Overijssel's continued use of the type into the late 1580s reflects the province's peripheral position and relatively modest mint infrastructure.
