<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 677948, member: 13450&quot;]Klippe - A <b>klippe</b> is a square coin minted on more easily produced square flans. These coins were usually issued under unfavourable conditions, such as a city under siege. Such emergency coins were issued in Vienna in 1529, while the city was besieged by the troops of the Ottoman Empire.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The below is a piece I had purchased over a year ago, which is quite rare. Austria - Salzburg. Storm Half Taler Klippe, 1593. Probszt-810. Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau. Seated saint with arms before. Reverse: Four winds blowing at tower. Graded NGC VF-35. Some say this tower depicted is the Tower of Babel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I won a 1644 1/9 Taler Klippe on ebay yesterday (PCGS AU-50) which I will post once received.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/962174.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
