正面描述 Diamond-shaped (klippe) silver planchet struck with a circular incuse stamp bearing the crowned eagle of Deventer displayed with wings spread, the city's heraldic device, rendered in relief within the circular punch. Below the central stamp, a rectangular cartouche contains the date with a small ornamental mark: A•1672. The surfaces are irregular and show the characteristic crude workmanship of emergency siege coinage, with the field outside the applied stamp left plain and unworked.

背面描述 The reverse of this diamond-shaped klippe bears a multi-line Dutch verse inscription handwritten in cursive script filling the entire field, reading: 'Doe tvrede waer doe blonk het hier van silver en vervult geschier: het fransche zwaert en paaps gewelt verkeert dien glans in vierkant gelt' with the initials H.N. at the base. The text is an improvised patriotic verse commemorating the siege, lamenting how the peace that once shone with silver has been transformed by the French sword and Papist violence into this square emergency coinage. The inscription is engraved directly into the flat surface of the planchet in a flowing hand.

附加信息

Deventer was one of three Overijssel cities seized by Louis XIV's forces during the Rampjaar — the Dutch "Disaster Year" of 1672, when France, England, Münster, and Cologne attacked simultaneously and overran much of the Republic within weeks. The city fell to the French in June without serious resistance. What followed was a period of occupation that stretched municipal finances to breaking point, forcing local authorities to strike emergency coinage from whatever silver could be assembled.

Klippe issues of this type were cut from sheet silver rather than struck on prepared round flans, which accounts for the irregular square or rhomboid shape. The specific weight target of a quarter Daalder placed it within the existing monetary reckoning so that occupied residents could actually use it.
