Goddelijke bijstand aan de opstandelingen 1606

This silver medal, created in 1606 by an anonymous artist, depicts a scene of "Goddelijke bijstand aan de opstandelingen" (Divine assistance to the rebels). One side shows a city besieged by soldiers, with a figure in the sky reaching down to a group of figures in the foreground. The other side features seven coats of arms, symbolizing the Dutch provinces united against Spanish rule. The medal serves as a powerful reminder of the Dutch Revolt and the role of divine intervention in the fight for independence.
