| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the crowned lion of Zürich rampant to the right, supporting with its forepaws the City of Zürich's quartered shield displaying the distinctive diagonal bipartite field. The design is contained within a raised outer circle, with the circumferential Latin legend divided by small rosette ornaments reading MONETA ❀ NOVA ❀ THVRICENSIS ❀. The square klippe planchet, hand-cut with characteristic slightly irregular corners, frames the circular die impression. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Klippe issues from Zürich in this period were not regular mint products — they were presentation strikes, almost certainly produced for gift-giving or ceremonial deposit rather than commerce. The 1622 date places this squarely within the turbulence of the Thirty Years' War, during which Swiss city-states were navigating diplomatic neutrality while their neighbors tore each other apart. Zürich's mint was active but cautious, and square-format pieces at dicken weight represent a calculated display of civic authority rather than monetary necessity.
The HMZ reference with the Klippe superscript and the blanks across Hürlimann, Divo/Tobler, and KM confirm how few examples were recorded by major cataloguers.
