Commentary
L’Ochavo vaut une demi Cuarto. La bannière à trois bandes est le différent de l’atelier de Valladolid. Les frappes pour l’initiale F sont antérieures à 1588.
The Ochavo is worth half a Cuarto. The three-banded banner is the hallmark of the Valladolid mint. The strikes for the initial F are prior to 1588.

Historical background
SPAIN - KINGDOM OF SPAIN - PHILIP II
(1555-1598)
Philip II (1527-1598) is the son of Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. In 1555, he succeeded in the Spanish Netherlands to his father who abdicated in his favor in 1556, for Spain and America. He successively married Marie of Portugal (1527-1545), then his cousin Marie Tudor (1516-1558), Queen of England, in 1560 Elisabeth of France (1545-1568) and finally Anne of Austria (1549-1580). He fights against the France of Henri II, then of Henri IV. He supported the Counter-Reformation and won the victory of Lepanto in 1571. He died in 1598 and his son Philippe succeeded him.
