Verbranden van de theoloog Michael Servet te Geneve 1553

This silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1553, depicts the burning at the stake of Michael Servetus, a Spanish theologian. The obverse features Servetus being led to his execution, while the reverse portrays an owl perched on a candlestick, symbolizing the end of Servetus's life. The medal is a historical artifact reflecting the religious persecution of the 16th century, and serves as a reminder of the impact of theological disagreements during this turbulent period.
