| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, unadorned reverse surface characteristic of hammered klippe siege coinage, retaining the irregular texture of the raw silver flan with no deliberate design, inscription, or decorative element. The surface exhibits natural flow lines and marks consistent with the rudimentary striking methods employed during the siege of Frankenthal in 1623. This blank reverse is entirely typical of emergency notgeld produced under duress, where expediency precluded any elaborate reverse die preparation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankenthal was a fortified Palatinate town that held out against Spanish Imperial forces during the early phase of the Thirty Years' War. This klippe was struck inside the besieged city in 1623 as conventional coin supply became impossible — siege coinage by definition exists because normal minting infrastructure had broken down. The Spanish blockade was tightening, and the garrison needed a functioning medium of exchange for pay and provisioning within the walls.
The square flan is not decorative affectation. It reflects emergency production: strip silver cut into planchets rather than rolled and punched into rounds.
