This small, circular bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1591, commemorates the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The obverse features a coat of arms topped by a crown, while the reverse depicts ships engulfed in a stormy sea, representing the Spanish fleet being destroyed by a storm. The inscription on the obverse, "Domine Non Nobis Non... 1591 Non Nobis," translates to "Lord, not unto us, not unto us, but to your name give glory." The medal acts as a visual testament to the historical event and reflects the prevailing sentiment of victory and God's intervention in the outcome.
