| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zierikzee, a fortified port on the Zeeland island of Schouwen-Duiveland, was besieged by Spanish forces under Mondragon beginning in late 1575. The town held out for months, and as the blockade tightened, civic authorities authorized emergency coinage struck from whatever silver was at hand — plate, cut bullion, salvaged metal — producing the squared klippe format that is the hallmark of siege necessity rather than mint convenience. The occupation finally fell in July 1576 after the relief fleet under Admiral Boisot was defeated, Boisot himself drowning in the action.
Fewer than a handful of Dutch Republic siege issues predate this one.
