| Beschrijving voorzijde | Obverse of this square copper klippe features a prominent crowned royal monogram of Gustav II Adolf at center-right of the roughly square planchet. The monogram is rendered as an interlaced cipher incorporating the letters G and A surmounted by a royal crown, executed in relief in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of early Swedish copper klippingar. A fleur-de-lis or similar decorative device appears below the crowned cipher, adding heraldic embellishment to the composition. The field is plain and uneven, characteristic of the irregular klippe format. The surfaces show the natural patination and striking irregularities consistent with early 17th-century hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Klippingar — square-cut emergency coins — were a Swedish expedient born of chronic copper flan shortages and the logistical strain of financing Gustav II Adolf's near-continuous military campaigns across the Baltic. The Säter and Nyköping mints both struck this type in 1625, and attribution between the two remains difficult without clear mint marks, which are often weak or absent on copper klippingar of this period.
Sweden's shift toward copper coinage at scale was driven by deliberate monetary policy: copper was abundant domestically, and the Crown controlled the Falun mine.
