Context
Issued with Philip's title as king of both Spain and England. The subtypes of the Philipsdaalder are distinguished by the use of different terms in Philip's titles obverse: ANG (1557-1558), PHILIPPVS without ANG (1561), PHS without ANG (1572-1576) Variants : The following variants are known: 1557 - Obverse legend uses spellings ...ANG... and GEL. The date is written in the normal way, read from left to right 1557 (Delm. 29, GH 210-6a) 1557 - Obverse legend uses spellings ...AИG... and GEL. The date is written as an extension of the legend, from right to left and inverted (Delm. 29a, GH210-6aa) Source: Heritage Auctions Europe 1558 - Obverse legend uses spellings ...AИG... and GELR. The date is written as an extension of the legend, and ends with an annelet (GH 210-6aa, main photos) 1558/7 vdChijs2 differentiates based on obverse legend as well, but differentiates a bit further: Plate XV 8 - Obverse legend uses spellings ...ANG... and GEL. No inner circle and the 'PHS' is more 'PIIS'. The effigy looks younger. Plate XV 9 - Obverse legend uses spellings ...ANG... and GEL. With inner circle and normal 'PHS'. The effigy looks older.
