This gold chain and medal, created in 1657 by an anonymous artist, is a Medal of Honour for Michiel de Ruyter, a famous Dutch admiral. The medal, which features a lion, is suspended from a chain and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. The chain, which was likely given as a symbol of honour for de Ruyter's naval achievements, is an important part of Dutch history and a testament to the admiration for the admiral's military prowess.
Comments
In 1657 Admiral de Ruyter was awarded a medal of honour by the Admiralty of Amsterdam, the headquarters of the Dutch navy, following his capture of two French privateers off the coast of Corsica. On the front is the lion of Holland, on the back the arms of the Admiralty, a lion behind a fence gripping two anchors. Both medal and chain are made of gold.
