Raad van Financiën van Karel, prins van Spanje 1511

This 16th-century bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist, depicts Charles, Prince of Spain, on one side and his coat of arms on the other. The medal is a small, circular piece, measuring only 2.7 cm in diameter. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The medal was likely struck to commemorate a significant event in Charles' life, such as his birth, marriage, or accession to the throne. While its creator remains unknown, this small work provides insight into the visual culture and patronage of the early 16th century.
