Vertrek van Maria van Hongarije uit de Nederlanden 1556

This small, circular bronze medal depicts the departure of Mary of Hungary from the Netherlands in 1556. The medal, created by an anonymous artist, is a historical artifact that captures a significant moment in the life of Mary of Hungary, a Habsburg princess who served as regent of the Netherlands from 1531 to 1555. The medal's inscription on the obverse side reads "SIG. REG. [sic] MARIAE AVG. [sic] REGINA", indicating the royal title of Mary. It is a valuable piece of historical art that provides insight into the Netherlands during the reign of Charles V.
