Successen van de bondgenoten in Spanje en Brabant 1706

This small, diamond-shaped silver medal, created in 1706 by Georg Friedrich Nuernberger, commemorates the success of the allies in Spain and Brabant. The obverse depicts a sun with a face, radiating light and surrounded by crowns, representing the allied kingdoms. The inscription reads "The victories of the Dutch and their Allies." The reverse features a blank circular space, likely intended for an inscription, and a floral design. The inscription on the reverse refers to a specific date, "The 21st of May 1706", likely marking a key victory or treaty during the War of the Spanish Succession. This medal is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the political and military climate of early 18th century Europe.
