Sluiting van het drievoudige verbond tussen Engeland, Frankrijk en de Republiek 1596

This 16th century bronze medal, "Sluiting van het drievoudige verbond tussen Engeland, Frankrijk en de Republiek," is a historical artifact that commemorates the end of the Triple Alliance between England, France, and the Dutch Republic. The medal depicts a scene with three figures, symbolizing the three nations, standing around a broken pillar, signifying the end of the alliance. The reverse side of the medal bears the inscription "Godvm Tyranntis," which translates to "God of the Tyrants," referencing the perceived tyranny of the alliance. The medal, now located at the Rijksmuseum, provides a tangible reminder of the complex political landscape of Europe in the late 16th century.
