Three silver coins fused together into one piece, a so-called “coin drop”, dating from around 1565 based on the only legible date found on the coins. 

This type of coin is nicknamed a “klipping” literally meaning clipped coin, derived from its method of production. These coins are of poor quality, usually minted in dire times, sometimes during a siege, and the name refers to the method of minting in which an entire sheet of silver or copper is hammered with the motif, and later cut into pieces, often resulting in small, uneven and incomplete coins.

These particular coins were minted during the Northern Seven Years’ War (1563-1570), a war that was much the culmination of political vying and tension following the dissolution of the Kalmar Union in 1523.
