Inname van Douai 1710

"Inname van Douai" is a silver medal created by the German artist Christian Wermuth in 1710. The medal commemorates the capture of the city of Douai, France, by the Austrian and Dutch forces during the War of the Spanish Succession. The obverse side features a depiction of the capture of the city, while the reverse side portrays Louis XIV of France with a lyre playing a woman symbolizing the city of Douai. This small, intricately detailed medal is a testament to Wermuth's skill as a medalist, and it offers a glimpse into the historical events of early 18th-century Europe.
