AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Silver Half-Philipsdaalder 1563 - Overijssel (Kampen). A beautiful and tangible piece of Dutch history from the early period of the Eighty Years' War. This concerns a Half Philipsdaalder from 1563 minted under King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) for the Lordship of Overijssel. The coin was minted in the Kampen mint house. This is a sought-after and significantly rarer type than the daalders from the large mints such as Antwerp or Dordrecht.
Characteristics and determination:
• Nominal: Half Philipsdaalder / Half Ecu
• Ruler: Philip II (Lord of Overijssel)
• Year: 1563
• Mint: Kampen (recognizable by the mint mark: cross '+')
• Obverse inscription: DOMINVS·MICHI·ADIVTOR (The Lord is my helper)
• Reverse inscription: PHS·DEI·G·HISP·REX·D·TRS·ISSV (Philip, by the grace of God, King of Spain, Lord of Overijssel)
• Weight: 16.30 grams (official weight was 17.14 grams, weight loss due to wear)
• Diameter: 36 mm
Condition of the coin:
The coin is in a fair, historic state 'Fine' (F). The coin shows the metal stress cracks typical of hammered coinage on the reverse. This occurred during the 16th-century minting process when the silver planchet (the flan) was not perfectly homogeneous or was struck too cold.
All crucial determination points — such as the year, the inscriptions and the mint mark — are still clearly legible.
