| Beschrijving voorzijde | Square klippe flan struck in pewter, oriented diagonally. The central device consists of a crowned shield bearing a rampant lion, enclosed within a beaded circular border. In the upper right quadrant of the flan appears a secondary circular stamp, also beaded, enclosing a floral or heraldic rosette motif — identified as the Zierikzee town mark. In the lower left quadrant, the date 1575 appears within an ornate cartouche of foliate or lobed form. A small rectangular countermark or control stamp is visible at the lower edge of the flan. The overall execution is characteristic of hastily produced siege coinage, with multiple applied stamps on a plain pewter planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zierikzee fell under Spanish siege in 1575–76, and like several Dutch towns during the early phases of the Revolt, the besieged civic authority struck emergency coinage to pay troops and maintain commerce when regular money became impossible to obtain. These klippe — square-cut planchets — were a deliberate expedient, not an aesthetic choice. Pewter was used because silver wasn't available in sufficient quantity, making these pieces among the most materially humble emergency issues of the entire Dutch Revolt.
The Zierikzee siege obsidional series is exceptionally rare in any grade; pewter corrodes aggressively, and most survivors show significant surface degradation.
