| Opschrift voorzijde | 15 Z9 TVRK BLE GERT WI EN (Translation: Ottoman siege of Vienna.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold saltire (St. Andrew's cross) divides the square flan into four quarters, each containing an heraldic shield. At the top is the shield of Bohemia (a rampant lion), to the left is the shield of Aragon or Hungary (vertical bars), to the right is the shield of Austria (a horizontal fess), and at the bottom is the shield of Castile (a castle). Small decorative ornaments appear at the corners of the flan. The overall composition is strongly geometric and heraldic, consistent with the emergency klippe coinage issued during the first Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1529. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vienna's 1529 siege coinage was struck under emergency conditions during Suleiman the Magnificent's first Ottoman siege of the city — the furthest westward advance of Ottoman military power in the sixteenth century. With supply lines cut and the city's reserves uncertain, the municipal authorities converted available gold into emergency ducats to pay the garrison. The siege lasted only from late September to mid-October; an early onset of winter and logistical overextension forced Ottoman withdrawal.
The Markl range of 276–286 indicates multiple die variants produced under these compressed circumstances, a detail consistent with improvised wartime minting.
