Derde eeuwfeest van de inname van Den Briel 1872

This bronze medal, created by Johan Philip Menger in 1872, commemorates the 300th anniversary of the capture of Brielle by the Dutch rebels in 1572. The medal depicts a tree with a sword and a fence, symbolic of the victory, surrounded by the date '1572.' The reverse side of the medal displays the date '1 APRIL 1572' inscribed around the edge. The medal, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to the historical significance of this event in Dutch history.
