Eerste eeuwfeest van de Reformatie door Martin Luther 1617

This small silver medal commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, begun by Martin Luther in 1517. Created by an unknown artist in 1617, the medal features an image of Luther on one side, and his name, "MARTINVS LUTHERVS THEOLO. D.", on the other. The medal is a prime example of Reformation-era commemorative art, highlighting the significance of the event and its founder, Martin Luther. The Rijksmuseum houses this small, yet impactful, piece of history.
