Gedenkpenning op het aanbieden van het Smeekschrift, geuzenpenningen en het zegel van het verbondsbrief van de edelen, 1566 1847 - 1849

This detailed engraving by Edouard Taurel, created between 1847 and 1849, depicts various historical artifacts related to the 1566 "Request" or "Supplication" submitted to the Spanish King Philip II by Dutch nobles. The engraving showcases the "Gedenkpenning" (commemorative medal) honoring the event, the "geuzenpenningen" (protestant coins), and the seal of the nobles' covenant. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the early stages of the Dutch Revolt and the struggle for religious freedom.
