| 表面の説明 | Half-length armored effigy of Landgrave Maurice of Hesse-Cassel facing right, depicted in elaborate plate armor and holding a battle axe raised over his right shoulder; a crested helmet is visible at the far right of the field. The portrait is rendered in a bold, three-dimensional style characteristic of late Renaissance German coinage. The surrounding legend is inscribed in Latin along the periphery of the klippe flan. |

Klippe — square-struck coinage — was produced in Hesse-Cassel during the reign of Landgrave Maurice not as ordinary currency but almost certainly as presentation pieces, distributed at court ceremonies, baptisms, and diplomatic occasions. The format commanded a premium in silver precisely because of the waste involved in cutting square planchets from standard round stock.
Maurice, who later earned the epithet "the Learned," was an unusually cultivated ruler who composed music, patronized theatre, and corresponded with scholars across Europe. The 1594 date places this piece early in his reign, which began that same year upon the death of his father William IV.
