Ex Archer M. Huntington Collection, ANS 1001.1.9384 (Numismatica Genevensis SA VII, 27 November 2012), lot 510 (hammer CHF 1600 on an estimate of 500 CHF).
Situated in Zeeland, Zierikzee, unlike it neighbor Middelburg, sided against the Spanish. Because of its strategic location and importance to the revolt, Zierikzee was besieged from November 1575 to February 1576. The city was eventually compelled to capitulate. In the ensuing negotiations, the Dutch were forced to allow those inhabitants of the city who were Catholic to enjoy religious freedom.
