This silver "noodmunt" (emergency coin) was minted in Deventer, Netherlands, during a siege in 1578. It was struck by Balthasar Wijntgens, a young engraver who lived only a short period of time, from 1577-1592. The coin features a distinctive design with a crowned eagle and the inscription "1578 VRIEHEIT". The unique, irregular shape of the coin, along with the inscription, reflects the urgency and desperate conditions of the siege.
