| Additional information |
Overijssel struck these cross-dalers under license from Philip II during one of the most turbulent stretches of Habsburg rule in the Low Countries — the period spanning Alba's Council of Blood, the Union of Utrecht, and the early campaigns of what would become the Eighty Years' War. The province's continued production of coinage in Philip's name through this window reflects the slow, uneven nature of the revolt; loyalty, or at least nominal compliance, persisted in the eastern provinces long after Holland and Zeeland had effectively broken away.
The Burgundian cross daler type itself was a deliberate monetary policy choice, designed to compete directly with the German Reichstaler in cross-border trade along the Rhine corridor.
