Erezuil opgericht voor de hertog van Parma 1585

This silver medal, created by Jacques Jonghelinck in 1585, commemorates the appointment of Alessandro Farnese as Duke of Parma and Piacenza. The obverse displays a detailed profile of Alessandro Farnese, while the reverse depicts a column entwined with a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory. The inscription on the reverse reads "MO. PRINC. C.P.T," an abbreviation for “Most Serene Prince, Captain General of the Provinces of the Netherlands.” The medal highlights Jonghelinck’s skilled craftsmanship and the importance of this historical figure in 16th-century European politics.
