Description

Siege Klippe 20 Stuivers 1578

Amsterdam. Siege silver Klippe 20 Stuivers 1578 AU50 NGC, Amsterdam mint, Delm-189. 13.45gm. Siege Coinage. Authorized January 5, 1578, to be made from gathered and melted silverware by order of the magistrate of Amsterdam, whose people initially refused to join the rebellion against Spanish rule. Balanced, steely surfaces that retain impressive detail and sound striking on their design elements. This is a scarce and historically interesting type of siege coin that was sold only once before by our firm in the same grade for hammer price $1,300 (Heritage Auction 3115, May 2024, Lot 32719), however this piece here does not feature the doubling that was found in the prior example.

Metal: Silver
