"Aansporing tot eendracht" is a silver medal created in 1588 by Paulus van Wtewael. The medal depicts two sides, with the obverse showing a farmer plowing a field with an ox, symbolizing hard work and unity, and the reverse depicting a cityscape with ships, potentially alluding to the importance of trade and navigation. This medal likely served as a propaganda tool, promoting unity and cooperation within the Dutch Republic during a crucial time in its history.
