| has gloss | eng: A klippe is a square coin minted on more easily produced square flans either using round or square Die (manufacturing). These coins were originally issued under unfavourable conditions, such as a city under siege. Such emergency coinage were issued in Vienna in 1529, while the city was besieged by the troops of the Ottoman Empire. However, by the seventeenth century, klippe were also commonly produced as presentation pieces. |
