Ontzet van Coevorden en reductie van Groningen 1594

This small, 16th-century bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist, commemorates the Dutch victory over the Spanish in 1594. Depicted on the obverse is a scene of a group of people, possibly soldiers, standing under a tree, perhaps symbolizing the liberation of Coevorden and Groningen. The reverse of the medal is inscribed with Latin text describing the event, which translates to "The siege of Coevorden was lifted, then Groningen was liberated in 1594". The medal is a significant historical artifact that showcases the importance of the Dutch resistance to Spanish rule in the 16th century.
