This bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1582, commemorates the arrival of François, Duke of Anjou, in the Netherlands. The medal's design is allegorical, with one side depicting a winged figure representing the arrival of the Duke, while the other side features three figures, likely symbolizing the provinces of the Netherlands. The medal's small size and intricate detail showcase the skill of the anonymous artist and its significance as a historical artifact. The medal is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
