Twintig stuiver, noodmunt uit Kamerijk, geslagen tijdens de belegering door de Franse verdedigers van de stad 1589 - 1595

This is a small, diamond-shaped, bronze coin that was created in the late 16th century. It was minted during the siege of Kamerijk, now known as Cambrai, France by the French defenders of the city. This coin, known as a "noodmunt," was minted in times of need, during the siege of the city. These types of coins, sometimes referred to as siege money, were issued in times of war and military conflict when official currency was scarce. The coin is an important piece of numismatics, representing a piece of the city's history and a testament to the ingenuity of its people during a difficult period.
