■ Highlights

Rarity
“NGC Population: 3 Coins”
This coin was issued during the Dutch Revolt (also known as the Eighty Years' War, 1568–1648) as an emergency currency. Its rectangular klippe design reflects the turbulent times. Few specimens survive, and coins in high-grade conditions are even rarer.

Condition
"NGC Second-Highest Graded"
Only one coin is graded higher:

• MS61: 1 coin
• AU58: 1 coin (this piece)
• AU50: 1 coin

For a silver coin of this era, an AU grade (Almost Uncirculated) is exceptional. The strike clarity and detail preservation are impeccable.

Historical Significance
The Eighty Years’ War marked the Netherlands’ struggle for independence from Spanish rule. During this period, Amsterdam initially remained neutral but eventually sided with the rebellion. In 1578, after enduring a blockade, the city minted this Stuiver coin as a testament to its resilience and determination.

These coins symbolize Amsterdam’s pivotal role in one of Europe’s most defining conflicts. The scarcity of well-preserved wartime klippe coins makes this a highly sought-after piece among collectors and historians alike.

A True Historical Masterpiece

Experience a tangible connection to one of Europe’s most transformative periods. This piece offers both exceptional historical value and investment potential.
