Herovering van Schonen, ter ere van Karel XI van Zweden 1676

This silver medal, created by Johann Georg Breuer in 1676, commemorates the Swedish King Charles XI's conquest of Scania. The obverse displays a profile portrait of the king in regal attire, while the reverse depicts a sword piercing a crown, symbolizing victory. The inscription, "FAGILIS IN INVICTO," translates to "Weak in the Invincible," perhaps alluding to the king's triumph over the Danish forces. This medal is a testament to the historical importance of the Scanian War, a conflict that ultimately brought Scania under Swedish rule. The medal's small size makes it a miniature masterpiece of commemorative art, combining detailed craftsmanship with powerful symbolism.
