This small, irregular silver piece is a "noodmunt," or emergency coin, created during the siege of Gulik by Maurice of Nassau in the early 17th century. Made by cutting a piece of a plate or bowl, it is marked with the monogram of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, and bears the inscription "VIER EENHEDEN." This artifact provides a fascinating glimpse into the resourcefulness of citizens during times of conflict.
