GRONINGEN: AR 12½ stuivers, 1672, KM-25, uniface siege coinage issue, struck by the Dutch defenders of Groningen while under siege from the Bishop of Münster, VF. The Siege of Groningen was a battle that took place 9 July to 17 August 1672 during the Franco-Dutch war. It was a Dutch victory that ended all hope of the Bishop of Münster to push deeper into the Netherlands. The Münster army was so weakened by the defeat that the Dutch army successfully reconquered much of the land that Münster had conquered just weeks earlier.
