| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diamond-shaped klippe flan with a centrally placed quartered coat of arms of the Bronckhorst-Gronsveld family, featuring multiple heraldic charges including lions, a crescent, and floral devices arranged within a divided escutcheon. A beaded inner border frames the shield. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer margin of the coin face, interrupted by floriate ornaments, identifying the titles and territories of the issuing family. The overall design is executed in the bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German klippe coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gronsveld was a tiny lordship wedged between the Spanish Netherlands and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, perpetually contested and administratively inconvenient for everyone involved. Jobst Maximilian von Bronckhorst-Batenburg, who held the lordship, struck coinage in the early 1640s partly to assert jurisdictional standing — the right to mint was one of the few concrete markers of sovereign status a minor lord could actually exercise. By 1642, Spanish military pressure in the region was relentless, and Gronsveld itself would be occupied and stripped of effective independence within years.
The Dav EC II reference places this squarely among the emergency and prestige issues of the low-country lordships — large-module silver struck in runs too small to constitute a monetary policy.
