Franche Comte in tien dagen veroverd, rekenpenning geslagen ter ere van Lodewijk XIV en Maria Theresia, koning en koningin van Frankrijk 1668

This small bronze medal, created in 1668 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the conquest of Franche-Comté by King Louis XIV and Queen Maria Theresa of France. The obverse features the royal couple, while the reverse depicts a lion, a symbol of strength and authority, under a tree, perhaps representing the region itself. This medal, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 17th-century France and its celebration of military victories.
