SWEDEN. Erik XIV. 1560–1568. AR 16 Öre Klippe (24x25mm, 22.25 g, 6h). Nordic Seven Years’ War issue. Stockholm mint. Dated 1563. Crowned coat-of-arms / Crowned coat-of-arms. AAH 44a; Tingström 22; Antell 571. Toned, some porosity. VF.

From the DMS Collection, purchased from James Beach, May 2005. Ex Charles E. Wyatt 14 (15 August 1986), lot 404.

Much of Erik XIV’s reign was occupied by the Nordic Seven Years’ War (1563-1570), a period of instability during which Sweden fought against Denmark and Poland for territory. As the need for war funding grew, Erik minted a series of “klippings” in several denominations from 1562 until he was deposed in 1568. These coins were easy to manufacture and were also produced during the reigns of Gustav Vasa, Johann III, and Karl IX when a large quantity of coinage was needed.
