Audenarde (Oudenaarde). City tin Uniface Siege Klippe 5 Stuivers 1582 AU58 NGC, Vanhoudt-557 (R2). 2.83gm. Ornate cross variety. A very scarce siege coinage struck under Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, between May 30 and July 5, 1582 to satisfy the Spanish garrison besieging the city, which had threatened to mutiny. These tin pieces could then be exchanged for silver following the siege. Notably bright over the surfaces for the usual dark tone of tin coinage, the coin at hand possesses a superb eye appeal. From the Coenen Collection
