This 1875 etching by Dutch artist Eberhard Cornelis Rahms depicts four coins struck during the Siege of Oudewater in 1575. The coins feature various inscriptions, including "Godt Met Ons" (God with Us) and "1 Stvvez" (one Stuiver), a Dutch coin denomination. Rahms's meticulous detail captures the intricate design of each coin, offering a glimpse into the history of Dutch numismatics and the challenges faced by its people during the siege. The drawing is a fine example of the 19th-century Dutch art of numismatics, where artists would recreate historical artifacts like coins and medals in detailed etchings.
