Inname van Landau door de Fransen 1716

This bronze medal, created by Jean Mauger in 1716, portrays King Louis XIV of France. The obverse of the medal features the king's bust in profile, while the reverse depicts an allegorical scene with a figure representing France, an angel, and figures representing the countries France has defeated in war. This commemorative medal, measuring just 4.1 cm in diameter, was likely created to celebrate a specific event in Louis XIV's reign, possibly a military victory or a royal anniversary. The medal's small size suggests it was intended for personal use or as a keepsake, rather than for large-scale public display.
