| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular, trapezoidal-shaped siege piece struck on a roughly cut silver flan with striated surface texture. At center, a circular stamped cartouche bearing a crowned letter 'R' above the date '1610' divided as '16' and '10', all within a beaded inner circle. A small rectangular countermark or control mark appears in the lower left field of the flan. The overall execution is characteristic of emergency siege coinage, produced under duress with minimal artistic refinement. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jülich fell under siege in 1610 as part of the Jülich-Cleves succession crisis, triggered by the death of Duke Johann Wilhelm without a clear heir. The resulting standoff drew in Habsburg forces under Archduke Leopold against a coalition including Brandenburg, Neuburg, the Dutch Republic, and France under Henri IV. The city's emergency coinage was struck from whatever silver could be gathered — plate, bullion, ecclesiastical metalwork — weighed and struck into multiples purely to pay garrison and suppliers when normal supply lines were cut.
KM#7 represents the 3-thaler denomination, the heaviest of the Jülich siege series. The city surrendered in September 1610.
