| 表面の説明 | The central field bears the crowned coat of arms of the city of Haarlem — a shield charged with a crescent and three stars — flanked by ornate foliate supporters and set within a beaded inner border. The date 1573 is divided by the shield, with the numerals 15 to the left and 73 to the right. A silversmith's mark appears below the shield in the lower field. The design is struck on a square klippe flan with clipped corners, characteristic of emergency coinage produced during the Spanish siege of the city. |

Haarlem held out against Spanish forces for seven months before surrendering in July 1573, and the obsidional coinage struck during that siege is among the most historically charged emergency money in Dutch numismatic history. This half gulden was produced from silver plate and church vessels hastily requisitioned by the civic authorities — standard practice for a city that had long since exhausted its treasury feeding a garrison under Alva's blockade.
The capitulation terms proved brutal regardless: Spanish commanders executed much of the surviving garrison. Coins that left Haarlem after the surrender often did so in the pockets of refugees.
