Verkiezing van Maurits, graaf van Nassau gekozen tot stadhouder van alle opstandige gewesten 1590

This commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1590, celebrates the appointment of Maurice, Count of Nassau, as stadholder of the rebellious provinces of the Dutch Republic. The front side displays an elaborate inscription surrounding a depiction of Maurice standing on a platform with a tree above him, likely a symbol of his lineage and authority. The reverse side depicts two clasped hands surrounded by arrows, symbolizing the unity and strength of the Dutch resistance against Spanish rule. The medal is a testament to the importance of Maurice's leadership in the Dutch Revolt, a defining period in Dutch history.
