| Additional information |
Philip of Montmorency, Count of Horn, was one of the leading Catholic noblemen of the Habsburg Netherlands who nevertheless opposed the Duke of Alba's repressive policies — a contradiction that cost him everything. Despite his loyalty to Philip II in matters of faith, he was arrested in 1567 alongside Egmont and beheaded in Brussels the following year, making him a martyr figure in the Dutch revolt. Coins bearing his authority thus carry a hard terminus: nothing was struck in his name after June 1568.
Horn's mint production was limited by both geography and politics, which accounts for the relatively modest surviving population of this type.
