Kroning van Frederik, keurvorst van de Palts en Elisabeth tot koning en koningin van Bohemen 1619

This silver commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1619, commemorates the coronation of Frederick V, Elector of the Palatinate and his wife Elizabeth, as King and Queen of Bohemia. The medal, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features an inscription around the rim and two distinct sides. One side depicts two lions, while the other showcases the coat of arms of Bohemia. This piece of numismatic art is a fascinating example of the symbolic power of medals in the early modern period.
