| Beschrijving voorzijde | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed within a beaded inner circle, the wings spread and the heads crowned. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading the date and place of issue, referencing the urgent necessity of the siege. The coin bears an applied oval countermark depicting a bust, struck over the host flan. The overall execution is characteristic of hastily produced siege coinage, with irregular striking and uneven fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Deventer issued emergency copper coinage in 1578 during the Spanish siege under the Duke of Parma's broader campaign to reclaim the rebellious northern provinces. Municipal authorities struck these pieces out of necessity — silver had effectively vanished from circulation as citizens hoarded it against an uncertain outcome. The siege coinage was explicitly temporary, intended to function only within the city walls for the duration of hostilities.
Deventer would fall to Parma in 1587, but this piece predates that capitulation by nearly a decade.
