This silver medal, created around 1630 by Simon van de Passe, depicts King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria of England. The obverse features a bust of the royal couple, while the reverse displays their coat of arms. This small, intricate medal (measuring just 2.6 cm in diameter) is a testament to the artistry of the period, capturing the likeness of the monarchs in fine detail. The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the royal symbolism and imagery prevalent in 17th-century England.
