Overwinning bij Aghrim, behaald tijdens de afwezigheid van Willem III 1691

This small, circular medal, created in 1691 by Jan (I) Smeltzing, commemorates the victory at the Battle of Aghrim, a significant event in the Williamite War in Ireland. The obverse depicts William III, the reigning king of England, Scotland, and Ireland, while the reverse illustrates a scene of the battle. This piece of Dutch medallic art, measuring just 5.6 cm in diameter, offers a miniature glimpse into the historical and political events of late 17th-century Europe.
