40 Kreuzer - Georg von Brandenburg Klippe, Siege currency

Georg von Brandenburg-Ansbach held the Bishopric of Strasbourg from 1484 until his death in 1543 — which creates an immediate problem with a 1592 date, as he was long dead by then. The coin almost certainly refers to the siege of Strasbourg's episcopal territories during the later conflicts of that decade, struck under the authority of his successor line, with Georg's name retained by tradition or political claim. Klippe coinage of this type was emergency production: square planchets cut from bar stock when round blanks weren't available, output prioritized over precision.
