正面描述 Square klippe flan with clipped corners, struck in the emergency coinage style. At the centre of the field, a large circular device contains a complex quartered coat of arms surmounted by a crown, surrounded by the initials C.-A.-H.-Z.-W. and the date 1713 arranged around the circumference. In each of the four corners of the klippe, a crowned royal cypher monogram is placed within an ornate foliate cartouche. The Latin legend is distributed across two rectangular cartouches: PRO CÆS: & IMP: in the upper cartouche, and BEL: LANDAU / 2 FL: 8K. in the lower cartouche, attesting to the coin's emergency issue during the siege of Landau in the name of Emperor Charles VI.

附加信息

Landau changed hands four times between 1702 and 1713, making it among the most contested fortresses of the War of the Spanish Succession. This piece belongs to the final siege, when Imperial and allied forces blockaded the city under French garrison. Necessity coinage of this kind was struck from whatever silver could be gathered inside the walls — plate, ecclesiastical metal, personal items — rolled and cut into planchets with no regard for regularity.

Charles Alexander of Württemberg commanded the French defense. The dual denomination inscription reflects an attempt to assign consistent exchange value to irregular emergency pieces that varied noticeably in weight and thickness from one strike to the next.
