This bronze medal, created by Jacques Jonghelinck in 1565, depicts Filips van Montmorency, Count of Horn and Admiral of the Netherlands. The medal's obverse shows a detailed profile of Montmorency in armor, while the reverse is blank. The medal is a small work of art, measuring 6.5 cm in diameter. It was likely commissioned as a commemorative piece to honor Montmorency's military achievements or political influence. The artist's signature "J.J." appears on the obverse, along with an inscription identifying the subject and his titles.
