Landing van Karel I bij Tazones in Spanje, rekenpenning van de raad van Financiën 1518

This silver medal, created in 1518 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the landing of Charles I of Spain in Tazones, Spain. The obverse depicts three ships, likely Charles's fleet, while the reverse showcases a crowned lion, the Spanish coat of arms, encircled by an inscription. This small, yet significant piece of art reflects the importance of the event and the power of Charles I in the 16th century. Its meticulous details and historical significance highlight the art of coin design during the Renaissance, and the medal remains a valuable artifact housed in the Rijksmuseum.
