This silver medal, created by Jan Roettiers in 1667, depicts Charles II, King of England, in profile. The medal commemorates the Peace of Breda, which ended the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The inscription around the king's head reads "CAROLVS II REX" and "D: G: GRATIA MAG BRI: FRAN: ET HIB," which translates to "Charles II, King by the Grace of God, Great Britain, France, and Ireland." Roettiers's precise and detailed style is evident in the portrait, which captures the king's likeness with remarkable realism. The medal serves as a testament to the historical event it commemorates and provides valuable insight into the artistic style of the period.
