Spanish Netherlands One tenth of a Philipsdaalder (small silver piece, 3,2 grams) from the province of Ghelders, 1562. This coin circulated 10 years before it got counterstamped (as always in the neck of king Philip II) in 1572. Early coin of the Dutch revolt and the 80 years war; the stamp of Zeeland (lion in the sea - Delmonte 141E) is rare   |
