Algemene gebedsdag bij de aanvang van de onderhandelingen te 's-Gravenhage 1608

This small bronze medal, created in 1608 by an anonymous artist, commemorates a general prayer day for the start of peace negotiations in The Hague. The obverse depicts a central figure, likely representing the Dutch Republic, holding a sword and a branch, symbolizing power and peace. The reverse features a bundle of arrows, representing unity and strength, along with the inscription "S.C. HORAT. I.C.A.," which translates to "The Holy Roman Empire, for the honor of Christ." The medal is a testament to the hope for peace and reconciliation during a turbulent period in Dutch history. The medal is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
