I've got a coin (?) I can't id- my reference materials don't go back any farther than 1600. I'd appreciate any info that anyone might be able to provide for this:

The envelope it came in says:

Flanders
1/4 Daaldoer (sp?), 1571

TIA

I want to say - Spanish Netherlands ....

Yep, it's Spanish Netherlands. Philip II had his mug on a bunch of coins, Spanish, Italian (Naples & Sicily), Dutch (here), etc.

Here's a nice one from Brabant, one from Tournai, Franche-Comte, Naples, Gelderland, oh and finally, yours: Utrecht, though the die looks very different...

This Philip II portrait bears an unsettleing resemblance to the cartoon Beavis character....

Thanks for the help- I was hoping someone here would know something about the coin.

I thought that portrait looked familiar...
