Reverse description The reverse is entirely plain and uninscribed, presenting a flat, featureless surface consistent with the emergency production methods employed during the siege of Cambrai in 1595. The absence of any design or legend on this face is a defining characteristic of this klippe issue, struck from roughly cut bronze planchets under conditions that precluded the preparation of a reverse die. The surface retains traces of oxidation and patina commensurate with its age and composition.
