1/4 Daalder Silver

正面描述	Three applied punch stamps arranged on a plain hammered flan. The central stamp bears the arms of Zierikzee within a beaded circle. Above, the date 1575 appears within a twelve-sided (dodecagonal) frame. Below, a cross superimposed upon an offset square is contained within a beaded circle. The overall composition is characteristic of siege coinage, with each element hand-stamped individually, resulting in slight misalignment typical of emergency issue pieces.

附加信息	Zierikzee, on the Zeeland island of Schouwen-Duiveland, held out against a Spanish siege from late 1575 into the summer of 1576. When the town's silver supply ran low, municipal authorities authorized emergency coinage struck from whatever bullion could be sourced locally — church plate, domestic silver, seized goods. The resulting pieces are irregular in weight and flan quality, and no two are quite alike. The town ultimately surrendered in July 1576 after the relieving Sea Beggar fleet was defeated. Most siege money was melted or spent immediately; survivors reached the collector market through church and municipal hoards discovered centuries later.
