This silver coin, minted by Johan van Harn in the Netherlands during the 17th century, is an example of a “noodmunt” or emergency coin. Struck during the Siege of Kampen (1672-1676), it displays the coat of arms of Kampen on one side and the inscription “NE-CESSITAS ALTERA” (Necessity knows no law) with the date "1672" on the other. This coin provides a glimpse into the financial and social challenges faced during times of conflict.
