Dood van Simon Stevin 1848

This bronze medal, created by Adolphe Jouvenel in 1848, commemorates the death of Simon Stevin. The obverse of the medal features a portrait of Stevin in profile, while the reverse displays the inscription "OBIIT A.M.D.C. LXXX." The medal is a small, intimate piece, measuring only 4.6 centimeters in diameter. Despite its small size, it is a poignant reminder of the life and legacy of this important Dutch mathematician and engineer. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
