| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, as is characteristic of this emergency siege coinage (klippe) struck at Woerden during the Dutch Revolt. The plain, unworked surface retains the irregular texture of the roughly prepared silver planchet, with no design, legend, or device of any kind applied. |
