| Obverse description | Six-line Latin commemorative inscription struck within a partial beaded border occupying the lower right portion of the field, set on an irregularly trimmed square klippe planchet. The legend reads REGIÆ MAT / RECON / CILIATA · ZI / RIZE A · ZA / · IVLY · Ao / 1576, recording the reconciliation of Zierikzee with the Royal Majesty on 2 July 1576. A small cross device appears above the uppermost line of text. The lettering is bold and raised in the primitive hammered style characteristic of siege coinage, with the text filling the available field without a formal frame. The planchet displays the rough, irregular edges typical of hastily produced emergency klippe coinage. |
